'Old' 6-1/2" drivers in the LS9
« on: Today at 09:20 pm »
Are the 'old' 6-1/2" drivers used in the LS9s...
https://www.dagogo.com/gr-research-ls9-loudspeaker-review/2/
...good enough to justify spending anywhere from US$3K to $6K for a pair of LS9s? In spite of already having super-hi-quality SoundLab Majestic 745s in my system, I seem to frequently dream up something different to pis...er...spend my limited amounts of money on.. I love the idea that the Nines are true line-source speakers instead of the psuedo-line-source-plus-pointsource-tweeter NX-Tremes, but are the old bass/MRdrivers as good, overall, as SLs?  Will the L9s sound as coherent as the SLs?

I know--too many unanswerable questions, but some of you nice people will think of things, good and bag, about this question that I have not.

I would snap them up.  There are certain things a line force can do that no other type of speaker can do.
