The Manger drivers look to be one of the more interesting drivers
available and there are both kits and finished speakers available using
their bending wave drivers.

The Zerobox 103 seems like a natural for review in SP.


Stereophile has already reviewed a speaker with the Manger driver. IIRC,
it was somewhat flawed given its high price.


Might it have been a speaker priced around $70,000.00? I beleive that
would have been from a company called Overkill Audio (how appropriate)
called the Encore.
For me, any spekaer in that range has at least one flaw.


It is an older review. I'm pretty sure it was Audio Physic but their model
names are too screwy to remember. Prior to the review, I heard it side by
side with Avalon Radians and SF Extremas in a professionally designed room
with both Spectral and ARC systems. The Avalons and SF sounded superior in
every way at a fraction of the cost. I'm tempted to say those speakers cost
around $40K. But it wasn't a bad speaker on its own. Afterwards some AP rep
or something like that said that their speakers were underpowered even with
a Spectral DMA-180 that was putting out 400 WPC in the configuration used.
Either that was a lousy explanation or the speakers were extremely power
hungry.

Cheers,
