Does anyone have any impressions of Montana Spkrs?

I saw the WAS on their website..what is that?750 lbs..that must be the heaviest speaker ever built...

Ttathomp, could you please elaborate a bit? I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts. Thanks.

Ehider. Another simple question - have you ever HEARD the Luxar speakers? Or ANY of the Acoustic-Reality speakers? Just curious.

I also think the prices are available now. $20K range (and up) does not appear to be 'WAY less than Montana or Dunlavy. I'd agree that with the drivers they use and the series crossovers they employ, that they probably sound pretty good though.

This statement on acoustic reality's home page makes me nervous. Maybe you digital only guys will not be bothered.

"Do you remember how big the improvement was when you did switch from phono LP recordings to Compact Disc recordings? Now it is time to an even much larger step. Let your loudspeakers be controlled in the way they deserve to be controlled."

I also noticed that everything they manufactured was shaped like a pyramid. This apparently occurred after the designer made a trip to Egypt.

I guess that is OK style wise, but not the most efficient work space for electronics.

I just puchased a pair of the Montana EPS's and replaced B&W 802's. Huge difference and great natural sound. For the money they're a bargan. The EPS's are Stereophile Class A rated. What's a better bargan for under $8K---B&w's don't even match the natural quality sound.
