i wouls buy stock in this company if i could...they sound so crisp. And
they go for less then $700 a pair. Just an opinion.



Crispness is not something that would be my main criteria in selecting a
speaker. It is not even in the top 3. I ask myself how close the
speakers come to a live performance. Of course, nothing is perfect, so
there may be other tradeoffs involved such as imaging, extended bass
response, etc.

I suggest that you go to a symphonic concert that features a well known
piece that you like. Listen to the instruments individually and
collectively. Does the kettle drum at the concert sound the same through
your system? Triangle? Harp? etc. Then actually score your system.
What are its strengths and weaknesses? What traits are most important to
you? How does that relate to the speaker's strengths and weaknesses based
on design? For example, cone and dome speakers are a different beast than
a horn based system and as such they have different strengths and
weaknesses.

I spent a fair amount of research time before went to audition speakers.
I am still extremely happy with my decision after 2 years of daily use.


Care to disclose that decision?

I
may upgrade to the "top of the line", but that will set me back over $10k
per pair, so I am saving my money.
