Hey Micke - I am the proud new owner of a pair of SP Tech Continuums that Lonewolfny quoted above, and I will say it again here, they are nothing short of phenomenal. Really, it is impossible to describe - you have to experience it. I have played music for many years in many situations - both live in everything from small clubs to large concert halls and in recording studios and have never before heard sound reproduction this accurate to the real thing. I just got these so it has been a revelation , and I am going back through my collection playing stuff I hadn't listened to in a long time. For example right now I am listening to The David Grisman Quintet. When I close my eyes they are here in the room with me playing, David just in front and to my right, Tony Rice in the middle, Darol to his left and a little behind - you get the idea. When Jason first cranked them up he played the Sheffield drum test disc - (I have a very nice drum kit in my music room) - and I swear I thought my drummer was here playing his kit! I love these speakers. One thing that is very important to know - if it doesn't sound incredible look at the signal path. These speakers reveal absolutely everything. Jason set these up for me with his rig first, which was his laptop playing windows media files out to a hagusb to an Orpheus DAC then to Nuforce amps. We switched in my amp and it still sounded great, but my CDP and Preamp are not giving me quite what we had before so I am looking at DAC's. You should get a very 3D Holographic sound and full on dynamics - what happens to me is that when I listen with my eyes closed I get a 3D image of the players right in front of me - theres even a lot more to it than that but I will have to give it more thought to attempt to describe what I hear and see - I'll try to right up a more coherent insightful review in a few days in another thread. The other thing important to know here is that the speakers I bought are the original Continuums (Jason's personal speakers - he is building some new ones for himself) about four years old I guess - and they have the original Vifa tweeter and xovers. These speakers are two(? - or more) generations removed from the current design. Jason says the current design sounds considerably better (wow!) I plan to upgrade to the new scanspeak tweeter and Mundorf xover after I have some more listening time in with these.
