Tannoy Studio Monitor Ellipse 8 with ESI Juli@ [computer sound card] !

[anm]

I have 2 places to go to in Mumbai - Shanti and Prem. Actually "Shanti aur Prem" sound pretty cool together

Shanti - is the office a home office?

 

[AMITNOIDA]

Sir,
You are most welcome;
It will be nice to meet up.
Would you like to listen to active or passive stand mounts ?
I am 100 % stand mount fellow. In both cases I use a speaker that is placed on a 'stand' !

BTW - please do keep @ the love of fish.
I truly believe, if one does a thing that keeps him / her happy, then their performance in life [work too] will be 'better' !
Keep the fire alive, what ever you love, pursue it; Keeps ones personal development on the +ve side of things......

Very true. I am also a standmount speaker fellow. Somehow, I pefer bookshelf over floor stander. May be my rooms are small and bookshelfs are comparatively easy to get focused performance.

Cheers

Tannoy is in the office - stand mount

TAD is @ home - stand mount

 

[anm]

no, what I meant was - is the office another room in your house or is it some different location.

H = Napean Sea Road
O = Parel

Both are different areas - 10 km apart - approx.

p.s. If I had home and office in the same location, why would I spend on a 2nd set up ? I would just walk to the 'other room' & listen to music....

p.s. I live in a 1BHK flat - 450 sq. ft.
So I do not have a 2nd room !!
:sad:

:yahoo:

This arrangement works for some very lazy people like me who dont take pains to go to other room to listen to music

10km. Hmmm. Since i have come to Goa that looks like long distance. My office is just 2km from home and i walk/peddle to office on sundays. God knows how i used to travel 10km per day one way from parel to marine lines daily when i was undergoing training. Even on bike it was difficult & in car, more difficult.

By the way, the Tannoys look stunning. Where is the third driver? I thought they are 3 way speakers but I could locate only 1tweet & 1 woofer.

The Tannoy is 'dual concentric' !
So the 8" woofer has a tweeter in the centre of it & the super tweeter is above the speaker - black.

I think most Tannoys are dual concentric - I may be wrong...

That might easily lead to not getting any work done.

And that might lead to you not being able to invest in this wonderful kit.

And that would lead to you not being able to tell us about it :sad:

Please ... continue to keep home and office separate! hyeah:

Thats a quite small enclosure for 3 way active speaker. I mean there is an active xo+ 3 amps in addition to the bass driver there.

Is there any special sonic advantage of this shape?

How do you control the volume? At source only?

I just wish I had money to buy them. With that price tag, I can't think of buying even a used one at this stage.

Hi Shanti,

Fab looking office, man you are LUCKY God Bless

PS: Your office deserves the rig you've got @ your house & the Tannoys @ your home

Seriously, your awesome set-up @ home NEEDS a bigger area - then it will perform like a 1000 times more than now. May you acquire that 'additional real estate' that your wanting for such a long time :lol:

Best Wishes

The Tannoy has a 'unique' shape - oval. No Standing Waves [internally]
Yes, it does have 3 dials @ back.
Master Volume / Bass Trim / Treble Trim

However, I control volume from the computer - Media Monkey or Foobar.

Thank You;

Appreciate your kind works...

p.s. Do we know each other ?

Waiting for a review of the ESI Juli@

Waiting for a review of the ESI Juli@

Sir,

What can I write that I have not mentioned before;

This is an excellent Sound Card.
@ Rs. 6500/- it is a 'steal' !

The Interconnect Cable - 15M per side is more expensive [sad I know] !!

I do not have any other card to compare it with - my M Audio LT 1010 Delta is RCA & hence cannot be used - I need XLR - Balanced out puts for my Tannoy Ellipse 8.

To make a long story short - I am happy. It plays well.
Very good for my office...

All are welcome for a visit - listen - Parel [E] - 1100 to 1600 [Monday to Friday] !

Hi Shanti

I am unable to locate an ESI Juli@ card here in Bangalore. where did you get yours for 6.5k? The delhi site costs 8K.


Yesterday I purchased WD Caviar green 1TB for 2.68k and a CM 350 Plus PSU for the E35m1-M pro board I am getting next week.

Soon (by October i.e) I will have a new transport.
