Salk or Selah or ?

Hi Guys

I am in the process of getting new speakers and would like to hear about your experiences with Salk Sound and Selah.

Living in Denmark I have no way of hearing either before buying so I am in need of help. I know it is a no-no to buy before something hearing it, but I am willing to take a chance as both brands are getting great reviews from costumers.

If you have any other brands I should consider, please let me know. I do not wish to buy Dali, System Audio or other Danish/European brands as part of the joy is to have something that no (or at least very few) danes have. I also believe that the competetion in the US has given you guys some great products to choose from.

Brgds,
Brian

Another great design from Selah, also sold in kit form, is the XT8 line array. This is a recent review in The Stereo Times.

Can't go wrong with either. Both Jim and Rick are true gentlemen who will work with you to get what you are looking for. Both not only have excellent products, but even better service backing it up.

I thought the Selah 3D sounded better than the Salk HT3 at RMAF, but I know (since I have owned the HT3's for the past two years) that the HT3's didn't sound anywhere near what they are capable of.

These two speakers are different designs and take different approaches. The 3D as its name implies will give a very spacious and holographic sound at the expense of ultimate dynamics. The HT3's are better balanced from top to bottom and seemed to have a little more detail.

What type of music do you listen to?

What is important to you?

What is the rest of your system composed of?

With a little more info, maybe we can help a little more.
