They did just okay 'tll I got the "more mature" drivers in. You could hear all of the instruments and where they were, so you got a nice sense of large orchestral space; and all of the lower instruments had enough body so as not to draw attention to their lack of foundation. But now, with the new drivers, there is more weight to everything. The walls don't rattle but the bass and resulting sense of scale really is impressive. Creston says the 42's, with their slightly larger enclosures do better; and that the 45's do dramatically better, as they should. (Photos on the Austin hifi website. ) I'd call the 40D's bass and overall foundation formidable, but I'm sure that has partly to do with my modest expectations for such a small speaker. Was listening to Mahler 3 (Leinsdorf, RCA UK vinyl -- great LP by the way) last night and got all I needed from it.
All of this said, I'm looking forward to the 42's (April). Creston wanted me to have the 40's long enough so I'd realize that even though the 42's will do more, the 40's do plenty.
By the way, when I said yesterday that these speakers can be addictive, I think that must be about their coherence and focus as much as what else they do. I have very little (enjoyable) experience with single driver speakers. Amazing sense of focus.
