| PMC 24 and Canalis Cambria two way floorstanders; What is the advantage to this design?: Thank you to all who have responded so far.To Steve, You make several good points However, my point about "good value" has little to do with how speakers look or the appearance of the cabinet.Sound quality is the most important issue. However, ... | |
| Revel Performa F-206 versus B&W CM-10S-2 How might they differ in sound quality?? Thank you to all who responded so far. To Erik and Shadorne: I think your comments are right on target about the Revel F206 versus B&W CM10 S-2. I think the difference you indicate touches on the old issue of "euphonic" vs "analytical". The B&... | |

| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? I am curious why Martin Logan planar speakers have not been recommended by anyone so far. Does it have to do with its narrow soundstage and somewhat finicky placement problems??Thank you, S.J. | |
| $1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee Check out either the Golden Ear Technology model 7 ($1395) or the larger model 5 which is $1995. They are great all around speakers and their efficiency is 87 or 88db. The NAD 326BBE should work particularly very well with the model 7's The... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? To Avanti 1960, Thanks for the comments. I am not sure I hear some of the flaws you point out about the GET model 7's What you note about the dispersion of the tweeter seems on target and the soundstage goes little beyond the outer walls of the... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? To 213 runnin: Thank you for the support. However, I may be suffering from "analysis paralysis" as you suggested. The issue for me is whether how much more performance is available beyond what I hear from the Golden Ear Technology model 7. Ther... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? To hfiron. Thank you for the additional info. The HR-1's are $4895, the much smaller and less gorgeous HRRx is $2495......$2400 price difference may account for their starling performance.Regrettably, I have abandoned auditioning any of the DECWA... | |

| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? To Mofojo, Thank you for the recommendation about the Tekton "Electron" I checked it out before on their website, but will go back to take another look. BTW, I did see the pair of Focal 1028Be's on the Music Room site. I may have dismissed th... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? Another two questions: How do the Tekton "Impact" speakers rank compared to some of the other speakers above?? Some members recommended the Double Impacts, but they are too big and heavy. The Impact is one step down.Decware offers a omidirect... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? k-a. Thanks again for the recommendation. Did you audition the Revel F-206. at any point in your search? It reviewed well, but the Focal might have the edge in performance. However, I can buy a used pair of the Revels for about $1000 less than a... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? hifiron Thank s for your recommendation. I owned the Vandersteen IC about 12 years ago.
