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.

All the speakers mentioned are of merchantable quality. Some of the
speakers have been reviewed by a guy called Howard Ferstler who
occasionally posts here. I must caution you though - his opinions are
not held in very high esteem by the participants of the group...

You forgot to say, "because they are jerks."

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.

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. 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.

Thanks for not answering the question. And I thought you wanted to discuss
audio with someone.

My mistake, clown.

I would question why Enigma remains in business if they consider the
speaker you list above as being worth what they are asking for them.

Jeez, Mikey. First you call me every name in the book, and now you want to
talk audio. Lay off the fruit juice.

Thanks for the tip!

BTW, haven't looked lately, but the price of the system (not including
the sub) was about $200 at a CompUSA store. I think Hsu sells it
direct for that price.

The low price and small size are plenty appealing to me, although I'm
leery of loudspeakers that don't have real tweeters, just "full range"
drivers. But the system's probably plenty good enough for watching TV
and video. I'd be more concerned about music listening.

I'll be watching for your review!

It is substantially longer than the S&V review, and also
includes a room-response curve. The system is actually quite
good for serious musical work.
