I'm digging "Legend".

If you google Legend + Loudspeaker, you'll see a whole lotta links, including this one: http://www.audioreview.com/cat/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/paradigm/PRD_120348_1594crx.aspx

My final vote is:

Speaker Line: Clarity
Speaker Name: Sound Portal's.

How about a play on the Star Wars character Obi-wan Kenobi? Aside from the name of the line, the model name could be OB-1, short for Open Baffle-1.

Hmmm, and the speakers do have a sort of hooded Jedi look to them. OB-1, I like it!

On second thought, they look very Old Republic...I'll have a really hard time thinking about them in any other way now.

That name is pure win.

Future talk: "The Portals look great in Tineo"--- "Get some Salk Portals, you'll love them."--- etc. It rolls off the tongue nicely. Simple and sticks well.

Jim - really beautiful design.
Real tempted to give them a go.
If they are anything like the Pharos then you have another excellent design.
As to a name, if they are as musical as the Pharos, then I would go with the Apollos.
BTW the Pharos are being powered by a pair of Wyetech Onyx 13 watt SET mono-blocks.

Hey John,

It looks like Barry's will have the same ribbon and midrange as your Pharos. Barry is a magician in setting speakers up. You will have to get Barry to let you listen to them when he gets them set up. I know I will be bugging him!
