Quote from: audiojerryQuoteIs this any better?Yes. Great photos - now stop making me lust!!! Jerry, these speakers have 3 drawbacks.1. They need to be brought a good ways out into the room2. They don't play the lowest octave3. Their price (as appossed to their value ) Not many people have over $5K to invest in speakersI know that #'s 2 and 3 would not be a problem for you. If #1 isn't a problem for you, then knowing how much you like the RSA cables and their 3D effect, you would LOVE these speakers.
Hi Marbles, This is a good thread, I have a couple questions: * "They need to be brought a good ways out into the room"In my experience, most speakers sound better pulled out into the room (I use a combo of Audiophysic and Cardas positioning). Do these speakers require special placement? ...
The Cardas Patented posts are non conductive so all the signal goes from the external to internal cables with nothing in between.

Is this guy kidding? I could suggest what that means, but I'm not going there.
ctviggenIs the beveling on the bottom for any purpose? How about the shape (i.e., does it reduce internal standing waves or just look cool)? How does the no binding post work?
jackmanHi Marbles, This is a good thread, I have a couple questions: * "They need to be brought a good ways out into the room" In my experience, most speakers sound better pulled out into the room (I use a combo of Audiophysic and Cardas positioning). Do these speakers require special placement? * "They don't play the lowest octave" Do any two way monitor speakers really play the lowest octave? In my experience, ones that claim to play low cannot do it at reference SPL levels. The little woofer is being asked to do too much. * "Their price (as appossed to their value ) Not many people have over $5K to invest in speakers" I haven't heard them so I can't comment on their value. $5K is a lot to spend on speakers but these are pretty unique. I guess it's all relative. Proac Response 2.5's retailed for $4500 ten years ago and the D25's are around $5500. These are in the same price range and are made of unique material (what is that granite?) so they are in the ballpark. The Proac site says the D25 can play to 20 hz. I'd have to see that (or hear it) in person because that's asking a lot of a small woofer.
Let me know when you wanna ditch those crummy old Salks, Marbles.
