Yesterday, I ordered the Selah Tempesta in gloss piano black.
Yesterday, I ordered the Selah Tempesta in gloss piano black. Expect to take delivery in about 4 weeks. A generous 45 day return policy makes the purchase very low risk.If I were spending roughly $2K on an amplifier right now, I'd probably get this one:http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=103404.0
Thank you for your suggestion. But LFD won't do it for me as I definitely need a remote. What amp you are planning to use with the Tempesta? Their sensitivity is listed as 84.5db - which is a concern for me. I've Ming Da MD-75, Ekco EV55, EE M88 in my shortlist. Not sure if these tube integrated have the horsepower to drive the tempesta. How about W4S amps? Is SS class D amp is a good pairing with Tempesta?Thanks everyone for their helpful replies so far.

thrown together in a PE cabinet could hold a candle to the engineering and voicing that went into the Cirrus and its bomb shelter of a cabinet. Thats just me though so as always, YMMV.
I thought you were going with Cirrus? What made you change your mind?
I'm planning to purchase a new speaker with a budget around ~4k. I live in NYC apartment and monitors seems to work well but I'm open to floorstanders that doesn't take up large space and image well.In my price range most speakers that having a good buzz are internet direct and hence can't audition. I currently have a pair of PMC AML-1, they are great - very detailed, revealing and dynamic, albeit little dry sounding because of their dead on neutrality I might say. I'm actually happy with them. My past speaker was NHT XD - another excellent speaker. I want to get a passive speaker for a change. =) I need a high value speaker with my budget to get more what the PMC AML-1 has to offer. I'm hearing a lot about Selah Tempesta and Vapor Audio Cirrus speakers. They do look like a very high value speaker. The Salk HT-1/2 looks very promising too. I auditioned a Devore 3XL at Stereo Exchange in NYC and loved them. But I do not think 3XLs are better than my PMC AML-1. I would be spending around 2k for an amp. I do not require the speakers to go down very low but I do like bass slam and body. I want a high resolution, detailed speaker but very musical. I can't place them more than 2 feet from the side and back wall. I listen to mostly indie rock and some classic rock. How good are RAAL tweeters for rock music? Any suggestion/recommendation will be much appreciated.
The Selah isn't a custom cabinet, and it doesn't have options for premium parts in the crossover, but I've decided I'm okay with something well designed and a bit more oriented toward higher volume production.
