Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ?


I was wondering if anyone has heard of small or monitor speakers that defy perception by sounding larger or bigger than they are ? I have always owned floorstanders and do not have much experience with the smaller fry....for the sake of discussion I would like that we NOT include small floorstanders - just speakers that we would normally use a stand with. Thanks !

JT,

I love Mdhoovers enthusiasm. I have not heard the Summits yet, but I did own a pair of Essence Super Gems for about 12 years. They were an unbelievable speaker in 1990 and I have heard from many that the Summits are many times better.

I live in Minnesota near the Magnaplaner factory. I remember back in the 1990s, Magnapan actually ran an ad saying that they had the 2nd best sound at the Chicago CES.

Guess who won best sound?

Essence Speakers.

I can't wait to get a pair of summits myself. If they are even 15% better thant the Super Gems, they would be worth it.

I'm not quite sure, but I understand how you feel.

I should also point out for full disclosure that I'm hoping to become a full fledge dealer of Intuitive Design speakers.

This is totally based on my enjoyment on the Super Gems all of those years. I proactively contacted Intuitive to inquire about a dealership.
What if I told you you could get a compact 3-way bookshelf that will blow you mind to Jello, and it'll wont even cost you half of the price your looking at for other speakers. And we're talking new out the box, +/- 1.5 db for under 1K per pair.

Check it out.

I've auditioned these speakers myself and through everything I could at them but the kitchen sink...and they were mind numbing!!!
cdwallace,

If you are going to post about a giant killer speaker, at least make sure the link is correct, otherwise your post is useless.........
