had a another chance to visit sounds and images before the holidays and not only was i once again treated with the great cebuano hospitality but also got a crack to hear and see ferdie's new toys.
1. omega 6 speakers driven by his
2. sun audio 2a3 kit amp with his new
3. clearaudio champ turntable with ear phonostage and in his main room the
4. rethm 3 speakers (driven by his not new airtight 300bs)
Being a newbie in the single-driver set game, i was pleased to see more options available to the single-driver-set customer who wants to opt NOT to go the DIY route but buy em straight from abroad and fully finished. You might say it takes away the fun of the whole DIY thing but then again DIY ain't for everyone right? These babies not only look great, they sound even better. Non-fatiguing, quick, sweet, and highly involving. Especially ferdie's personal toy the rethm 3s. couldn't take my eyes off 'em beauties. For the record they use modified lowthers but i never heard lowthers that sweet before. Nakakainis nga, it wasn't even fully broken in yet. The shocking package for me was the Sun audio amp kit mated with the Omega speakers, as far as bang for the buck is concerned. Hell, some pieces are cheaper than the kits made here.
If and when in Cebu might I suggest a visit to ferdie's toy store to make time to see and listen, I promise you will not be dissapointed.
Kudos Ferds and many thanks for the hook up ; )
