Ya know, if George hadn't left the DIY market, I wonder how many speakers I'd eventually have lying around! The Pegasus would certainly be one of them. Maybe he'll expand his product line under North Acoustics, which would be great.
I never thought I would ever buy speakers without ever hearing them. Looking back though, I was quite confident that these would be great speakers when I put in my order. A combination of world class drivers, top quality crossovers(8 gauage coils), and especially his website, had convinced me he knows how to design a high-end speaker with the sound(voicing) I was looking for.
I'm currently running the Catamounts from a modded Denon 5910 player, Transcendent sound preamp and set otl mono blocks, and Jena cables all around. I'm also trying out a Red Wine amp and Promitheus preamp. The speakers are exceptional for jazz vocalists and piano. The Revelator tweeters are very sharp and airy, yet very smooth and natural. My Kitty Kats are surprisingly similar, but immediatly I noticed some loss of air with the D28 tweeter, and the upper mids being slighty warmer. For both sets I had extended the port a little with the straws for a slightly lower port tuning. With what I usually listen to, I don't find myself really missing a lot in the bottom end. I would consider both these speakers much more preferable to my friend's JM Labs Mini Utopias(about $10k), and the big Martin Logans he has at his store.
Only 12 Manifests??? If they were still available, it would be at least 13!
