We met Don and Jill at an audio show in Florida a few years back. At the time, we were displaying our Exotica 3 speakers and they placed an order. Fast forward a couple of years and they needed another pair of speakers. So they ordered a pair of self-powered Song3 BeAT's. Fast forward again and they placed an order for another pair of Exotica 3 speakers for another room.
Right about that time, we introduced the BePure 3's. The first pair I built was for myself (obviously). I never expected to sell many pairs of these since they were the most expensive speakers we had ever produced. Shortly after we introduced the BePure 3's, Don and Jill wondered if they should change their Exotica 3 order to the new BePure 3's.
I'm not particularly eager to spend other people's money. But I told them that if I were considering the question, there is no doubt I would go for the BePure 3's. So they changed their order.
I posted this picture before, but here it is for reference...
We will shortly finish up a pair of matching dual 15" Rythmik subwoofers to go with these speakers.
At any rate, I received an email today and thought I'd share it (with permission). As I mentioned, they have the Exotica 3's and Song3 BeAT's to compare the BePure 3's with. This is what they had to say...
"So, let’s talk about the “perfect” speakers. After a couple of weeks of intense listening, we personally have determined them to be the BePure 3’s, our Flagships!
Our very first impression was that they are amazingly clear and accurate, unlike anything we’ve ever heard before. Upon further listening, we began noticing other characteristics that enhance the sound of the music. The notes sustain through their natural decay, just as in a live performance. Particularly noticeable is the richness of the strings and voices, again, matching that of a live concert. For instance, before the bow is moving across the strings of a cello, you can actually hear the percussive sound of the bow initially hitting the strings, and when the oboe or bassoon come in, the vibration of the double reed is unmistakable. Wow! How did you do that?!
After a bit of tweaking of the speaker placement, the sound stage immediately opened up to be truly expansive, with the separation of individual instruments much more pronounced. We feel as though we have front-row seats to a symphonic concert or vocal performance, where, on a good recording, the breath of the singer is clearly audible.
With time, we’re sure that it will only get more perfect, making it even more difficult to leave the system to have dinner or go to bed than it is now." I thought I'd share this as it represents the kind of emails we've received over the years that kept us going.
By the way, this pair was the only pair we built other than my personal pair. They are one of only two pairs in the world. So Don, Jill, Mary and I are members of a very exclusive club. We're happy to be in such good company and hope they enjoy the BePure 3's for many years to come.
