Stop teasing us Mads!
Hopefully a pair is going to Erin or Amir as well.
I hope these aren’t the measurements of the E50!Also here is a somewhat clearer blurred image of the supposed measurements View attachment 401665View attachment 401666
My choice is done, then. These look a million times better to me.I'm guessing it will be mostly down to a style choice.
To the Sointuva WG specifically, the one that used waveguide tweeter and paper woofer like this E50. The AWG uses aluminum woofer, with a little lower bass extension.These will be seemingly very similar to the March Audio Sointuva, down to the measurements. I'm guessing it will be mostly down to a style choice.
Will this solid wood construction have wood movement cracking is the main question
There's always a possibility of solid wood getting cracks especially with the grain. Dutch and Dutch have been known to Crack. The most vulnerable period is in the winter in cold climates with indoor air getting very dry or in very humid climates. According to their website they say these factors were taken into consideration with wood selection and proper drying and treatment. Personally I would use a little furniture oil on them during the winter.Will this solid wood construction have wood movement cracking is the main question
I only know of one as well, the ones I sold.I know of only one example ( from 70 odd pairs sold) of an 8C developing a crack, which D&D immediately replaced.

No I sold them. This was around 4 years ago.Didn’t you send them back to D&D?

Not really this was during the pandemic, the cracks didn't go all the way through, just cosmetic. I sold them for what I gave minus the cost of the stands I threw in and shipping. Not sure if they've redone their stands but they kinda sucked with those cheap stick on spikes that never stayed on. I modified some outriggers. Anyway back to the topic. I'd rather forget my D&D foray.Surely that must have reduced their re-sale value why didn’t you just send them back?
D&D are really excellent in terms of response and actually fixing issues.
I have had one pair develop a crack Jon who posts here, a customer broke the small return attempting to take the base off and a reviewer dropped one!
Once I did have a solid wood turntable crack literally into two pieces that was dramatic!
