At the same time, other things begin to happen. There may be a slight degradation at extreme angle but I’m sure I will be more satisfied with them than with any directional speakers.Īt Heed Audio, we have found that loudspeakers with a non-directional radiation pattern are best able to simply let the music into the room. The sound is always full bodied and the resolution stays pretty much the same at different listening positions. The Heed Enigma speakers solve this issue. Even after the room acoustics are adjusted, you still can’t go around the room and expect the sound to sound just as good as at the seating position. Most of the time, with directional speakers, you need to set up the sound to be right in the middle of where the seating position is going to be. It eliminates the need of a complete room acoustic treatments. This setup is different from any setup I have auditioned. I was already familiar with a few Wyred 4 Sound products as I’m currently using the DAC-2 and STI-500. The setup: W4S Music Server – W4S mPRE – W4S mAMP (mono amp x 2) – Heed Audio Enigma 5 speakers Once I called them, informing I would be coming, they set up a listening session with exactly what I was looking for. They are the sole distributor of W4S in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It’s a bit difficult to find, but it’s actually a good thing as it is far enough from city noise. The store is located right in the middle of a suburban area. I visited Raindrop Audio in 16 Waringin Park. This is why we need to support audio dealers. The only way to do this is to audition them in person. Dislaimer: I have never heard of how a decent pair of non-directional speakers sound like. I didn’t plan on acquiring speakers other than Selah‘s. I was not going to buy them online or had them shipped to Jakarta without knowing how they perform. I’m already familiar with the latter and the former. Initially, I was quite certain that I was going to buy Schiit Gungnir (DAC), Wyred 4 Sound mPRE (DAC + preamp), and ModWright KWA 100 (power amp). Singapore is famous for its’ vast selections of high-end shops, including hi-fi audio. I didn’t particularly find anything interesting at any of them so I went to Singapore. I’ve been trying to build a second system for the living room.
