Hello fellow audiophiles and music lovers,
In continuation of our popular blind shootouts of amps and speakers for a panel of judges, we are now organizing our next event which will be a blind shootout of approxiately 10 floorstanding speakers whose retail prices are $3,000 or LESS. Danny has graciously agreed to work with us on a contractual basis to host the shootout and to measure each of the speaker participants. He's the best.
As always, we let our readers and other audiophiles choose the speakers to participate in the shootout. We are asking AudioCircle members to submit their speaker recommendations to us via email - or you can post them here in this thread.
What we need is specific brand names and model numbers and prices. Example: "I'd like to see MojoSmasher model #RM10x for $2,499 and the Atomsmasher by Tinitus Audio for $2,999 in the shootout!".
We will contact the manufacturers of the most requested speakers to invite them to participate in the shootout. In addition to the shootout, each speaker will be fully measured and each will be individually reviewed by one of our staffers.
Obviously, we cannot force speakermakers to participate and sometimes there are legit reasons for not participating. Most often the reason is that the speaker requested is about to be updated or replaced altogether so it would not be beneficial to anyone. And sometimes, manufacturers are just chicken! We'll find out!
So please, think seriously about your candidates. You can recommend as many models as you like, just please make sure they meet the criteria: floorstanding priced $3,000 or LESS. And please do not just say "Vandersteens and Magnepans". We have to have specific model numbers to be fair and accurate.
Thanks!
