[QUOTE="Grant Conklin, post: 24559, member: 120"] Re: Fulcrum DX1295 review Thanks for the excellent review, Silas. I cuncur with most everything here, especially the helpfulness of the Fulcrum Staff. They've all been helpful, and Rich has gone above and beyond the call of duty for me on at least 2 occasions. For some brief moments I measured 127db at 1 meter (yes I was wearing earplugs) with the clip light barely flickering on a Yamaha P7000S amp on a single DX1295. That's as close to a manufacturers published spec (129db) that I've ever been able to verify, and I have little doubt that these speakers could reach 129db under more accurate test conditions. A closer inspection of the phase response of the DX1295 reveals that it is relatively flat above 300hz, and if I recall, my own measurements revealed similar behavior. While the sound is great, I hesitate to call it "studio monitor" quality. I played them side by side with my [URL="http://www.lansingheritage.org/html/jbl/specs/pro-speakers/1995-urei-809.htm"]Urei 809's[/URL] and preffered the 809's. For studio monitor quality, I'm told the new [URL="http://fulcrum-acoustic.com/products/tqinstall"]RM22 and RM25[/URL] are amazing. I may use them on an install when it makes sense to do so. Thanks, Grant [/QUOTE]
