I recently have been auditioning the following speakers for
upcoming product-review reports:

Axiom M22ti satellite systems, with EP-175 sub.
Hsu Ventriloquist system, with STF-1 sub.
Tyler Acoustics Monitor systems.

Anyone reading this had any experience with these systems?

Also, within the past few months I have reviewed the
following systems and published reports:

EOSS Musico sub/sat system.
NHT M6/W1 sub/sat system.
Eminent Technology LTF-VIII systems.
Polk LSi-25 systems.
Dunlavy Cantata systems.
Waveform MC sub/sat system.
Triad Silver sub/sat system (free-standing version).
Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 systems, with optional Hsu sub.

While these reviews are in print, with some of them having
been that way for some time, I would be curious about the
experiences others have had with these speakers. Also, if
you read any of these reviews I would be happy to read what
you thought of them. In addition, I printed a series of
response curves and explanations of those curves and the way
I made them in issue 94 and 95 of The Sensible Sound and
would love to get some feedback here concerning those
articles.

I have recently auditioned the following speakers in my system:

Harbeth Monitor 30
Harbeth Compact 7-es Mk. 2
Cain & Cain Abby
Quad 988
Enigma Acoustique Oremus

All are under $7000 a pair. The speakers you listed are **** compared to
these. I'd like to hear your opinions on THESE speakers.

Boon

Not every system I mentioned is a winner, and I did not
indicate that all of them were. However, I have reviewed
enough systems by now to safely state that some of the
systems in my list are equal to anything you have ever
listened to.

Bull****.

Also, some of the cheaper ones (often quite
cheap) were competitive with some of the expensive versions,
at least if a good, but not necessary expensive, subwoofer
was thrown in.
