Experienced audiophiles best speaker

Padrillo,

You mention Boston. I suggest you put Goodwins High End in Waltham on your list of places to visit. They have a few of the brands you mention and are a very accommodating dealership. Enjoy the search.

Pani,

What do you mean by "analytical character"? Besides the Harbeths coloring the signal, how can they analyze it? Do you mean overly "revealing" or something else?

Regarding the subject of disclosure, I, too, agree with Audiofeil. I don't know who Sounds Real Audio is, but if he comments on a product he represents/sells, he should mention that. Quite simple and easy, with no negative consequences that I can think of.

Has anyone read the latest review in TAS of the TAD CR-1? It must be incredible. It was the biggest rave I think I have ever read in a review of a speaker. Where can one audition it?

My old Eggleston Rosa's went down to about 35 hz in my room and my Mini II's go down at least to that and maybe to low 30's, but the quality of that mid and upper bass is something to behold. They are expensive, but above about 35 hz, they are extremely musical.

Looks like it's getting personal.

Ebm did share with me his views about various Magico speakers while I was researching them. His opinion was brief though accurate and helpful IMO.
