I listen to my Caravelle in a seven foot equilateral triangle. No toe in. How's that for you? Of course they are also 2 feet from the side walls and 3.5 from the front walls. With monitors (just about any speaker) distance from the walls is critical. The Caravelles sound wonderful at low volume, but let's face it, they sing (again like most speakers) when you give them some juice. I'm not talking ear bleed levels. I'm a big jazzman, and I usually listen at comfortable easy listening levels, and the speakers deliver. If you're listening to the Gladiator soundtrack, however, you might want to play them a tad louder. You won't believe what the Gladiator sounds like. NO SUBWOOFER! The bass was superior to the Micros. The whole darn speaker was superior. This Series crossover that Brent has developed (being patented I'm told) is one of the fundemental reasons for the drop dead phase coherency, like no other speaker I've ever heard. You can read my review. I don't have a clue what the speakers are now going for. I believe they are, with dedicated stands, around $4.5K. Call Robert at Starsound as you put in your order. peace, warren
Greatness: Recognition at last
About nine months ago I received my pair of Harmonic Precision Caravelles. After the break in and total tympanic freak out, I got on the 'gon with my review, and went a bit gaga raving about these speakers. Well after nine months of absolute tympanic joy, low and behold, I read on 6moons.com, their mini Caravelle impressions at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. These babies should, now, get some of the recognition they deserve. It was, back 9 months ago, as it is now, very exciting to be on the ground floor of speaker greatness. Again, the Caravelles are like nothing I.....hey, there I go again. I'm happy for Starsound. Hope we'll hear more, when 6moons does an official review. peace, warren
