Swing mkII (Swing)

Last night I picked up my BD15's with the Compact Bass cabinets (yes, GC ! ... bass will be added :shame: after many years :blush.

I listened to the freshly (not optimally played in and tuned) crafted Swing mkII and was shocked about the bass extension. Next to this the homogenity and coherence was surely improved. Message here; do not underestimate the importance of the bass (... just listen to me, ... the guy who has played without any bass at all for many years :confused: ) on the complete sound.
The difference between the Compact Bass cabinets and the Swing mkII is very big; with the Swing mkII the Orpheans are 'lifted onto a pedestal' to reproduce the whole frequency range lifelike.

I don't like to use extremes, but I can assure that the Swing mkII is the best speaker I have ever heard. ...
