May I draw your attention to Gary's detailed review - relative to Kans, Saras and SBLs - (much more eloquent that I could ever put it!) posted on another thread, which you might not have picked up (hope you don't mind, Gary!)
Great review Gary! Mine should be coming in the next few days/week. Can't wait!! James |

As you can tell from the pics of my lovely rosewood LP12 that have been floating about recently, I love beautifully grained wood.
Signal's dem pair of C10s is in walnut, a beautiful example of that finish, but the strongly figured grain does rather clash with the slightly quirky tongue-shaped grilles (even if you just treat them as dust covers...) If anything, the photo under-does the stripes. Light oak, as mentioned by Peter, is also quite grainy, but it is not as contrasting/pronounced. Had it been available, we would have gone for light oak, rather than the sycamore we finally decided on... But we couldn't wait! And we're collecting our very own pair on Saturday!!! James |

Those who have been interested in the Kudos Cardea range (and new readers!) may be interested in more comments from Gary posted elsewhere which you may not have picked-up (hope you don't mind me quoting you again, Gary?!!).
How the C10s really work well with 552 and 300!!:
James PS... Meanwhile, I'm having great fun with my C10s. I was on a course for most of last week, and they were in my study system - face-to-face, mono, out-of-phase - having five days solid of Red Hot Chili Peppers. This really has done them some good, though they have a little way to go. I've also been enjoying tuning my stands for my room, firing across the short axis (I had been deprived of this delight for over three years with the bottom-ported ProAc D15s). My two week home dem had been with 3 legs filled. All 4 legs filled was brilliant at Signals, firing down the long axis of their room. But it has given me too much bass in my context. Each leg accepts 500ml of sand. 3 1/2 legs did rein-in the bass, probably sufficiently, but I have decided to go back to 3 legs filled (as during the dem) until I can be really sure that they are really run-in. Looking forward to JN coming over with GML and Mrs GML at short notice on Tuesday eve, 13th. Like Gary, JN writes much more eloquently than I do in describing the sounds produced by systems - he also heard mine quite recently with the ProAcs, following our day out in Leicester with my Scottish Gramophone. |
