Adjusting vertical angle ( lean )
The feet on the cabinets can be adjusted in height; a back lean
will often result in a higher placed soundstage. If you are sea-
ted low, a forward lean may be required.
The bass towers are not sensitive to this.
Spikes
Due to the weight of the system and consequently, its solid
contact to the floor. Spikes are not offering any performance
gain, unless the floor is very lively or the carpet is thick and
soft.
The woofer towers
In the old school systems, the woofers was often underestima-
ted and viewed as devises that should provide some “umph”
to the sound,. They lived their own life , often unhappily mar-
ried to a inferior muscle amp with PA qualities ( a contradic-
tion of words perhaps )
The Kodo is a speaker system and shines with its rare integra-
tion between the drivers This is achieved by using a number
of special developed drivers that due to its size are lightening
fast to respond to command.
Large drivers are heavy and takes time to start and most of the
time has trouble stopping again, thus creating the dreaded
“overhang” – the woofer is playing something that it was not
told to by the amplifier.
By using these responsive drivers in a large numbers in com-
bination with a Gryphon amplifier designed specifically to this
purpose – rather than a all-round performance - a exceptional
degree of bass control is achieved down to the notes that are
more felt than heard. The signature of a deep bass system in
absolute control is the absence of bass unless the bass is req-
uired – it is never a constant “rumble” creating a illusion of a
bass that is not telling if it is a cello or a bass – at best, it is
just a deep sluggish tone.
The Bass tower electronics
Each tower has a amplifier capable of delivering 1000 watts to
the drivers.
It also has some adjustments to support precise integration
with panels and the room.
One of the towers is the master and the other is the slave.
The master tower houses all the intelligent circuits that res-
ponds to the remote control or other functions, these com-
mands are communicated to the slave with a data-only cable
between them. This set-up with only one master in charge
scure that both cabinets do the same at the same time.
