I'd be interested in hearing any comments from those who have heard them,
especially the Studio, Salon and Gem speakers. Specifically, was there
anything about them that made them stand out at all in the crowd?

I've heard all of them and I currently own Gems. I'll never
part with them. The build quality is great and they look
really cool with modern decor. They're accurate and they'll
play loud. Ditto for the bigger models. The designers knew
what they were doing. The cheaper Revels also sound great
and might even give you more bang for your buck.

Are you using a subwoofer with the Gems by any chance?

I was, for a long time -- the Sub15/LE-1. I ran out of room
for it in my living room and I'm currently between subs.
I'll probably replace the sub with a Hsu in a few months.

While I would never knock the Hsu line, I wonder if you've ever
considered or listened to a Adire sub. I currently have one based on
their Shiva 12" woofer which I like very much. I think they offer at
least as muc if not more bang for the buck in comparison to Hsu.

Also SVS is getting a lot of favorable comment.

Any experience with either of these?

I have reviewed several Hsu and SVS subs for both The
Sensible Sound and The Audiophile Voice (just one Hsu for
this publication, though). I would say that in terms of bang
for the buck, they are roughly equal performers. You really
cannot go wrong with either brand.

Shivas sound best with the mirrors covered,
but the tweak is only good for seven days.

Agreed. I have a pair of Studios and just added another for a center
channel. My feelings about them have been published in Stereophile
and I've owned them for years. No sub, yet.

In addition, my son-in-law and I designed a system for him with Gems
for the L/R. He uses a sub with them.
