Speakers with imaging "Free of the box"

Salk ht3's - no cabinet colorations at all, stellar imaging

I've also had Von Schweikert Vortex Screens - they also image well and disappear in a room

Wilson Audio Specialties-any model, but more so with the CUB and Duette speakers. Beautiful pinpoint imaging and boxless sound, stunning performance. If you have the mean$, I highly recommend an audition.

All planar based, so placement is crucial as is feeding them with high quality amplification...

Tvad,

My Arro speakers are listed at the price you state but include a REL Q 108 sub. The combined price of the Arros speakers and the sub is at less than half of the retail price! I think at least, not sure what the retail on the Arro speakers really is? I believe the REL price is $995 MSRP!

Oh, and I ended up ordering the Duettes, they will be delivered within the next two weeks. New with warranty and dealer installation.

But I was just kidding about the 50% off, I know they are a brand new speaker. It was more of a plea to get em at a great price. Anybody in SW Michigan interested in hearing the Duettes can contact me. Give me a couple of weeks for the installation though. And no, I don't have a $100,000 worth of electronics to drive them, much more common base electronics.

Tvad, I also purchased the Duette's (still waiting). What color did you get?

They were very close to the Sophia's and the WP8, better in many ways, and a much better bargain. For me the ease of set-up sealed the dreal. They certainly are "free of the box." I will be running them with Bel Canto Ref1000. The combination is great.
