A Treasonous Look At The Competion ~ Sympathy For The Devil...

One of my Favorites

OK Robin, please don't forget one of my personal favorites (one I might cheat on my Logans for), the amazing Avalon Edilon Diamond's. Without a doubt one of the best I've heard when paired with the very best support equipment.

JM Labs

Here's one more I also lust after sometimes, these JM Labs Nova Utopia Be's won "Best Sound of the Show" at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest paired with all BAT electronics. These are beautiful, effortless, excellent sounding speakers and I would have them in an instant should I win big on Powerball. Seek them out at a good dealer and prepare to be spoiled.

Me too! Here are some with Tenor electronics - stunning!

Maxx2 is the best I have heard so far... such a good speaker, but so bulky....

JOey

+1 on the Maxx 2's.Very expensive though. I'd love to hear the Kharmas also!

 

[Joey_V]

I bet Karmas are great... Mike Lavigne had a pair but he traded them for the Von Schweikert VR9s... and now the VR11.

Statman... er, Dynamicman.... true that on the Maxx2.. superb!

Shoreview's Interesting Paradigm Signatures...

Paradigm Signature our sister company with ML under the Shoreview umbrella of companies makes a very dymanic speaker. I have auditioned these babies and I can tell you now, Man are these speakers dymanic and powerful. They were not to my liking, too bright and metal sounding. I auditioned them with Anthem A5 and D1 electronics...

Thiel PCS / SS2 / PX02...

Thiel is a brand I have read much about. I wonder what they actually sound like?
