Guys, I wanted to share my impressions of these speakers.
Thanks
First off, these are (Man Speakers!) but let me start first by thanking Eric for affording me the opportunity to audition them and for being a fantastic host. I’ve been in the audio world for the past 15 years now with the last 7 being professionally and I have been a practicing musician since the age of 10. I’ve listened to many speakers from DIY’s to Wilson’s top of the line Alexandria’s and Sonus Faber’s Aida’s. I thoroughly have enjoyed my audio progression and my pursuit of ultimate realism.
The 1812’s are large v-twin 450hp fuel injected ram air turbo line arrays at least that is the impression they bestowed on me lol. My first thoughts were these will be loud and dig deep but how could they handle delicate and gentle musical passages? When Eric fired up the first song which so happened to contain a female vocalist I was like ok here we go! To my utter disbelief, I realized that my jaw was dropped, my posture sank like a child witnessing there first ever high speed Top Gun F-14 Tom Cat fly over! (You know what I’m talking about here wink wink!) I was so amazed and overwhelmed I asked Eric to stop the music…. I leaned over and said I’ve spent more time with Wilson Audio and can say unequivocally these are better! I am well aware of how profane that statement may be perceived to some and I stand behind it 100%.
As the music kept coming I just could not believe it, I kept changing genres and couldn’t find any faults. They are fast, articulate, airy, smooth, and give off such a big presentation such as being at a live performance. With the v-twin line array I mentioned earlier it is like having stereo imaging for each ear! It was absolutely incredible!!! The sound stage was magnificent as if you were seated below and the performance was played up above on stage and crystal clear regardless of volume.
Dynamically these gentle giants can go from Bruce Banner to the Incredible Hulk at the twist of a knob. It is hard to describe how you can be sincerely physically pummeled with the widest grin on your face! I mean the experience is surreal, I couldn’t get these speakers to distort, stress, or anything that would be perceived as a check in the nay category.
At the heart of the 1812’s is clarity and midrange excellence. If these are attributes that you cannot live without or expect? The 1812’s are your ticket!
