Is this due to mechanical or electrical reasons or both?
Is there an explanation why?
Is this valid for all passive speakers or only for Klangedangs?
Electrically, the filters want to be close to the amps. From filter to speaker, the optimal cable length is 2.48 m (the optimal length of K400 for any amp and speaker, it seems).
Mechanically, they like to stay away from the speakers. Inside the loudspeaker stands is probably a bad place for any type of electronics.
Mechanically, they also like a good support. So clearly better on a Harmoni shelf than on the floor.

I have my filters on the Harmoni shelf and have also placed the filters on top of two books. Don´t remember the author :) but it was an notable improvement with the books.

This makes sense, sorry for being a little bit harsh with my criticism.
Well, I obviously haven't used this thread for a long time. You won't see me on the forum much this week as I am on vacation and generally try to stay away from most things Hi-Fi.
However, one of the reasons for taking the week off from Overture Audio was to get some work done for Nokturne Audio. Namely a completely new website I started months ago but only had a little time here and there to make progress on. The old website was done in iWeb which is no longer supported by Apple and doesn't support smart phones and tablets. It doesn't resize well and is pretty dated looking and was hard to update.
So I just published my new website at www.nokturneaudio.com I finally have the Entity and Giella listed and the new Källa as well. I had the Home page and the SINGularity and Entity pages mostly done along with the basic framework. But I just spent two full days putting the other pages together as well as writing new literature for Källa, Entity and Giella and updating the older literature I wrote in the past. Then getting all the links right, etc.
Anyway, the new site is published. I do plan to add to it in the future with a page on informational articles and copies of all the manuals and "The Reason Behind..." documents. But I wanted to get this up now to help show the world Källa and Lejonklou. I hope you like it and any concerns or corrections are appreciated.

Excellent Thomas, with suggestions I will come back when I go more in detailed search ...

Lookin' good, Thomas! Are you still handling Harmonihyllan?
He is still selling Harmonihyllan equipment racks, and he will be selling one to me soon. That's why I asked him if he would be posting pictures of the Harmoni racks on his website, because his previous website did have pictures.
Thanks for the comments, although is my site really 90s? I've never been a big fashion guy but I suppose the lack of things that move around might make it less current. I considered having three photos cycle on the main page but after doing a search about them, bumping into a forum for web designers and finding they all hate that design as most viewers just find it more difficult to get through the site, I decided against using them.
I appreciate the PMs about errors. There were a number of typos on the About Us page. It was the last one I did, late at night and I typed it directly into the web program rather than using Word and bringing it over. Since the web design program doesn't spell check that didn't help either. The biggest mistake was that there was a blank page if you clicked on "LEJONKLOU". I had intended that to be a header and not a page but somebody actually clicked on it! (I hadn't.) It turns out that I can't make it not be a page in the web program I used. I thought about it and figured that a LEJONKLOU page to lead into the others was probably a good idea so I created one which I finished last night. I also redid the drop down menu to make it more attractive and clearer and fixed any spelling errors others and I found and a few minor grammar things.
The latest version went live last night. For the time being this is it unless any other errors are found. I do have ideas for an additional page or two, likely as sub pages to the About Us section, with things like downloadable Owner's Manuals, links to more reviews and some articles but I'm taking a break from that for a while.
As to Harmonihyllan, that is currently a bit up in the air. I can still get products from Anders but virtually everything has changed within the product line and the way they are constructed. Until I can get a handle on the new stuff and how it fits with what I want to do it won't be on the site and will be special order.
Thanks again all.

Got ya! I'm definitely into minimalism, as well (although some would say the mess in certain of my rooms augurs against that). But I have always been more for clean and simple design as might be indicated by my Hi-Fi gear, my Ekornes recliners, my Ikea record storage, my Jenaer glas tea ware and my Dansk Odin flatware.

Hi Tom, nice website. Reminds me of my own when I was an distributor and dealer. Plain and simple, no frills, the information listed.
Only the oval moon on the home page makes me smile. An attempt to draw him into music and to the best systems on earth? ;-)
Ah, yes. The oval moon. I am trying to figure out how to straighten that out. If your window is wider that the one I used in creating the website the background elongates, if it is narrower it compresses. I am trying to figure out a way to have it not do that but my attempts so far have only made things significantly worse. One way or another I will have to address that. But if you resize your window until the moon is actually round you will see what it is supposed to look like. Who knew a simple night sky background would be so difficult?!

I was tempted to mention the white & black text colour not matching the background when it scales, but figured you'd not be over the moon if I did so... ;)
Yet you did, anyhow. Aren't you just a little ray of sunshine! As mentioned I planet to do something about it but right now my way is milky. I am not a star at web design but am hoping my web site is more of a heavenly body in the firmament and not a black hole. Maybe I should go off and write an article on the Neptune Method.

My post wasn't meant to send the Mercury soaring - it's not like I said there were a galaxy of issues... I'm sure people will gravitate to your website as it is - it certainly eclipses the previous one already... I hope it's not an astronomical effort to unEarth a fix - call me a lunatic, but I bet it'll dawn on you soon enough to find that stellar improvement, and you can sunset the old site.
I haven't updated this for quite some time but since most of my news is Lejonklou news that is to be expected.
But now I have something to mention here: I just uploaded an updated version of the website. While it is not a complete redesign it felt like it as I did some work on every page. I have to thank one of my customers for mentioning that my Tundra page still showed Tundra Mono 3 as coming soon which gave me the original impetus to get the project going. I had been waiting for final information on the Boazu 2 and with that in hand I set to it over the last week and a half. He also mentioned having difficulty reading the white text on black background (part of the Nokturne "night" design) which had me making one of the design changes, which are as follows:
While the background is still black and the titles and subheads of the pages are white on black, the main block of text on each page is now black on a white background. This is on all pages except the Home page which has limited text.
An updated page was written for the Boazu 2 and new downloadable literature made for it as well.
A new page was created for Superkikkin with a link to literature.
The product pages and associated literature was updated to remove the discontinued versions and products, so Giao 2.4, Sagatun stereo, Tundra stereo and the basic Giella are all gone. Note that historical data on all Lejonklou products is available on the Lejonklou site. Also I still have my older versions of the literature I created and can email them to anyone who wants such info on a product they may own or purchase. Just PM me f you want anything. Page titles now also reflect the current items such as Slipsik 8, Tundra Mono 3, Giella ∏, etc.
The exception to that last part is that my web creation tool only allows numbers and letters in titles and not punctuation. While I updated the pages and linked literature on SINGularity, Sagatun Mono and Entity to reflect the current 1.5, 1.7 and 1.2 versions respectively, the numbers don't show up in the menu bar.
A few minor updates were made to the Lejonklou page and the About Us page, mostly just to correct times and dates, etc. Also, since not everyone will realize that the Lejonklou menu title will take you to a separate page about Lejonklou, I put a link to that page from the Home page.
I removed prices from the web pages and the attached literature except on the Lejonklou page where I put a couple in to make a point. This is due to the pricing being substantially different in the US and Canada, both of which I serve, yet both use dollars (Canadian and US), It therefor causes confusion when I list a price on the web or on the lit.
US and Canadian retail price lists are linked at the bottom of the home page and are printable pdf files (as is all my literature) so the information is still readily available. These price lists are also updated with the latest pricing including Superkikkin and Boazu 2.
I attached links to several reviews that were not on the last version. There may be more out there I should link but I tried to get anything that was in English.
Finally, tokenbrit should be over the moon since the moon stays in place and with the proper ratio when the page is resized. So at the very least the proper text is over the moon. This was not a simple task as I had to put in a different night sky that scales with the page and make the moon a separate object that retained its size. It took me a lot of time to get PhotoShop to pull the moon out of the background so it wasn't surrounded by a black or white box but I succeeded!
If you see anything that needs attention please let me know. Have fun.
