Reimer Wind River did not sell...


Seems the "full range" Wind River did not sell.
Which leads me to conclude that after 8000 views!!!, folks are aware that a bunch of drivers in a cabinet does NOT = "superior" sound. The description did not even state the drivers used in the cabinet. Besids, has a ribbon, which is not as emotional as the good ol' tweet.

I'll have me new speaker kit this summer, Seas/Thor. Still have my ol' Philips.

Reimer makes some great speakers, but does absolutely no marketing, so (unfortunately) no one knows anything about them.
I'm sure they are a nice speaker. However, we all know now that they aren't going to get $3600 new. Maybe a little overexposure on audiogon's front page!
I have Reimer's Teton GS speakers which use the same drivers and ribbon tweeter as the Wind River except it is a larger speaker and utilizes 2 woofers. The sound of this speaker is incredibly life like. I replaced a pair of $10M name brand speakers with these and have never looked back. They are also very effecient at 94db and mate well with low powered tube amps. IMHO these speakers are a steal at the price you can get them for.

Are you foisting Roman numerals on us? Why not be conventional and use "k" for 1000?

Hi,
I've had a pair of the Wind River GSs for a little over 2 years and I love them. They have an outstanding soundstage both side-to-side and front-to-back, they image very well, they absolutely disappear, they have great bass and are a pleasure to look at. Prior to buying them I auditioned Montanas, Coincidents, Osborns, B&W, Magnepans and Merlins (with the BAM.) None moved me the way the Reimers did. Over the last two years I've listened to a number of single drivers and horns (mostly at the recent VSAC in Washington state) and while I was impressed with Edgarhorn, Rethm and Cain&Cain, nothing has inspired me to move from the Wind Rivers. In fact, as I have upgraded my electronics over the past two years, I like the speakers more and more.

As mentioned above, Rick Reimer has had very little exposure yet produces an excellent product. I wish more people could hear them. Plus, Rick is a wonderful guy who will talk about speaker and crossover design for as long as you might want to discuss it.
