If you had to choose a NON planar speaker, what would it be?

[Robin]

Martin Logans...

Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away... I used to think "M&K's", looked to be a well made speaker... I reseached them and auditioned them several times too. M&K speaker's seemed to be high quality, for a non-planar, cone type speakers.

Cheers

My own

Like Mart, I built my own with Seas and Audax drivers and they sounded very nice. It was before buying ML's.
Now let's dream:

If I had the money, I would hesitate between those three masterpieces:
-B&W Nautilus 800
-Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage
-Tannoy Westminster Royal

Anyway, if I really had the money to buy one of these three, I would get a pair of........Prodigy's!

Dunlavy Alethas (formerly Athenas) - a great box speaker, around $6000/pr. It appears that the manufacturer's website is gone, which is a bad sign...

Various reviews are around at Audio Asylum, Absolute Sound, etc.

Von Schweikert
Living Voice
Hyperion

 

[KCWolfPck]

I've always thought that the Paradigm Studio series sounded pretty good....especially for their price range.

If not My Logan's then ..........................

For me it would be a toss-up between B & W or Totem......make that the B & W 803D. I was actually torn between that speaker and the purchase of my new Vantage. I felt the ML to be a "bettr buy" Hopefully I will be happy in the long run

I'd probably go with one of the Ohm speakers with the Walsh drivers. A friend used to have a pair of Ohm F's, and they sounded VERY good.

One of the Wilson's or the Sonus Faber Stradivari - neither am I likely to ever afford though

 

[MarkNewbie]

Since the Wilson's are so far out of my price range, I can't really pick them unless "dream" speakers count. I have a pair of EV Patrician 700's that my father left me. They weigh in at 300Lbs each and came with a lifetime guarantee. Manufactured back in the 60's and I recently watched a pair go on eBay for over $5000.00. They have a horn, midrange, super tweeter and a 30 inch woofer! They are sitting at his summer home in Florida and I plan on flying down this spring, renting a Uhaul and driving them back. Am thinking that they would make great HT fronts with my Ascent i's in the back. Of course, I am going to have to buy a new house as my condo doesn't have the room for them!

 

[asindc]

Well, within the price range of my Ascent-i, I would go with the Paradigm Studio 100 v.3. I've not heard a bad sounding pair of Paradigms yet.

Price no object, probably a pair of Wilsons. Same comment applies here.

 

[Taz]

A friend just pickup up their new reference line and WOW they would make my lisy

 

[fallencr]

Sonus Faber all the way, they are more like musical intruments than transducers, they just get me very involved and emotional.

 

[abhijit]

Wilson Watt Puppy/ B&W Natilus 801/JM LABLS GRAND Euthopia/Avantgarde's Trio

 

[amey01]

Most likely Avalon Eidolon Diamond, however I'd also consider Sonus Faber Homage and Wilson Audio.

 

[Scumurculum]

Me, I would go for B&W 803D - beautiful sounding.

But at 15K AU out of my budget.

Some of you may think I am crazy...but I think that I would be very interested in what Klipsch has to offer.
That horn has a sonic signature that is very unique (much like ESL's) and I dig it!
I wish they made some VERY HIGH END gear.

I am going to Detroit this weekend to visit a Navy buddy of mine. He's got a pair of K-horns and I've never heard them. I will do some extensive listening and let you all know what I think.. I heard Khorns once in a showroom and they blew me away.. of course they're friggin' GI-NORMOUS!

Well most of ML's line doesn't exactly fall in the category of tiny, either...

Tom,

Are these the speakers you are going to check-out at your buddy's place?
