I'd like to see the Odyssey Audio Lorelei speakers in the contest. They are $2,500.

not all manufacturers measure the same way, therefore it makes more sense if there are measurements common to all.

As always///Marvin is right  on.

hello

just read this and it may or may not help with some pointers on how to setup a good shootout.

Totem Hawk or Vienna Acoustics Bach Grand.
Up against some AC speaker manufacturers.

I put in another vote for the Salk Sound Song Towers. I heard them at AKfest 08 and was impressed.

I just read a good review over at Soundstage's Ultra Audio of the EgglestonWorks Dianna that retails for $2500 that would be a good addition to your shootout.

One more vote for the VMPS RM2...ribbons, and planars, and bass oh my.

Another vote for the Horn Shoppe Horns.  If you can go a little higher, the model 3s.

Hi all:
Other options could include:
1) Omega Super6 Alnico XRS $2395
2) Harbeth HL-PES-2 $2295
3) Devore Gibbon 8 (referenced before)
4) WLM Stella ($TBA, coming in August)
5) Spendor A5 $2595
I'm sure that others will come up others - but this small list shows different styles, approaches and some "highly regarded" choices...

Ditto as long as care is given to their setup.
