This just in... some very nice comments about the Symphonia 72R versus some of the competition out there by reviewer Glen W. of 6 Moons:
"Comparisons.The $7.000-up sector has some wonderful designer statement pieces each with strong points of appeal and different enough to challenge your priority list. The Clearwave Audio Symphonia 72R is a 2.5-way system boasting a pair of Accuton ceramic drivers and a Raal tweeter per side. The additional woofer cone area gave the 72R an advantage in the extreme low frequencies with greater dynamic range, extension and power. Both speakers were exemplary in their transition from woofer to high-frequency drivers, with a slight nod in cohesiveness going to the Capriccio Continuo. Where the two diverged was in voicing. Here they demonstrated fundamentally different characters. The Accuton-based Symphonia 72R followed a cooler path in the midrange, holding up a high standard of transparency that demanded a little more attention to create palpability.
The Auralea injected a bit more inherent warmth in that range and the upper bass but retained an equal amount of responsiveness and control. Both tweeters showed purity and detail, with Auralea's FAST being the sweeter of the two where the aluminium-foil Raal demonstrating greater dynamic ability and incisiveness. In this battle the Clearwave Audio plays the transparency card to advantage and adds deeper bass, greater output and wider dynamics, making it a power performer with big Telarc recordings. The Capriccio Continuo counters with greater midrange and high-frequency warmth achieved without penalty in detail plus superior performance at lower volume levels that afford it a higher degree of intimacy over a broad range of music. Two exemplary speakers with different visions."
I admire Glen's ability to showcase the talents of speakers. So if the 72R seem like your cup of tea, and you value transparency, dynamics, great base response, and fast mids... lets work out deal!
