2. speakers
  3. 1362364746

The usual suspects: S1, Cirrus, Tempesta, MMM1

Getting back into audio and starting to make the audition/research list... Speakers are always the toughest, especially with the internet brands that have no presence here.

Anyway, here is the current list. I'd love to hear from people who have actually heard these in comparable setups:

1. Magico S1 - yes, it is new. it is also hot. Also too much $$$

2. Vapor Cirrus - tons of good press, but is it just the current audiophile flavor du jour (much like Joseph and Devore before them)

3. Selah Tempesta - seems similar to the Vapor but with lesser cabinet?

4. Evo Acoustics MMM1 - lots of hype on this one being generated by the company - worth it?

I've had Soliliquy's a long time ago. Energy's of various sorts that never did anything for me. ProAc Tablettes I loved (but many, many years ago so rose-tinted glasses now), and a variety of other speakers here and there...

I've had the Vapor Cirrus in my room, with my electronics, side-by-side with my Salk SoundScape 10s. Other than the lowest octave of bass, the Cirrus was at least the equal of the SS10. The top end of the Cirrus was actually a little smoother.

Hope this helps. . .

Csmgolf, what Joseph should be warned about is another username behind the same keypad! You could call some of them the one hit wonders.

If you are hinting that I am Ryan or anyone associated with Vapor you are a total idiot and extremely paranoid. I own none of their products, but will some day purchase a pair of Arcus. I am just someone tired of listening to your non stop whining. Man up, come up with a solution instead of throwing stones, resolve the situation, and go away. BTW, I think the Pulsar is an excellent speaker having heard it a couple of times. It is not on my purchase radar though, so Jeff Joseph has nothing to worry about from me. On the other hand, he should be extremely wary of you because of the way you have conducted yourself.

Csmgolf, I have no idea why you would think this way since we have had private discussions before. Hope all goes well with your Vapor Arcus purchase.

I think you need to refresh me on these private discussions because I certainly don't remember them. My memory is pretty good, but it must be failing me now. What did we talk about?
