Does anyone have one (or two) Aegirs in NYC?

The best bang-for-the-buck upgrade that I've ever done for microdynamics and plankton was listening in a nearly pitch black room.

  Yeah, I cover LEDs that are on. You can still see a little light spill into nearby LED holes.

  If you're really lucky, messing with plankton in a pitch-black dark room, you might get phosphorescence.
  
  If you're really unlucky, you get swallowed up by the whale which is aiming for the plankton

  (I'm just envious because I'm too deaf for plankton ;) )

2-channel setup now feels complete. Lord give me the strength to keep my eyes and keyboard from wandering.

  @Ringingears Thanks for that.

  Next logical step would be room treatments, if you can live with the aesthetics

  That, I have done. A couple thick panels in the corners (w/blankets packed in behind them) and thinner panels at first reflection points. I want to experiment with diffusers but can't seem to find any decently-sized affordable ones online.

Are the BMRs still for sale? I replied to your ad on US Audio Mart yesterday.

  Hi Eric,
  
  I texted the number you left me, unless that's not a cell phone?
  
  Thanks,
  Will

Okay, does anyone else think music sounds better at night?

  I did, though I haven't had time to really A/B it yet. Maybe I'll have a better picture in a week or so.

I just tried putting my external comp monitor flush between my tweeters instead of ahead of them. Holy fucking shit soundstage improvement!

  If crossover design is good, it shouldn't be a problem. There's just a bit of a difference in the way ribbons present sound vs domes.

  Speaking of Crossovers... if you ever get a chance (after "burn-in" is complete)... I'm sure, I won't be the only one, who'd be very interested & intrigued to hear any of your experience & opinions on those Bhavas! Or just overall impressions.

  Don't forget if they still sound off or synergize weirdly... it's probably your small-ish room as well as wall positioning/reflections/toe-in/tweeter-in/outward-position that is still gonna be a major if not the biggest factor to properly integrate your new Speakers...
  And, imo, second to that, is how good the Speakers actually perform... I mean they're probably uber expensive, so they must be great-er!?! :P

Thank you SBAF for leading me into the wonderful world of two channel. Sitting back and listening is so sweet and so addictive.
