So I bought some 49cz582 off of BT on a bit of whim and to increase the level of quality in my secondary space. I got a friend to cut some baffles for me but he managed to cut the holes a little too large (hence the zip ties). Currently setup in my main space about 2 feet from the wall (yay apartment living).
My thoughts are mostly in line with everyone else. Imaging is incredible. Vocals are wonderful. Bass is a little lite as expected, but no really much worse than my A25s. Really busy pop / rock seems to crowd easily, and overall they can tend to an ever so slight shrillness on these genres, but who knows when these were last turned on. I bet that they may open up a little with time.
These also take no power to drive. I am running a 8W PP tube amp and cant get the pre past 10 o clock before I am run out of the room. The A25s can on occasion suck up all the power the Grundig has to offer.
I can not wait to listen to them more in the coming weeks.
