I've only been a part of this site for a short time. In that time, I've been curious about Salk speakers ever since seeing some of the beautiful custom cabinets on the HT-3 and SongTowers. I have, what I consider to be great speakers, albeit not well known. Quite frankly, I'm pretty happy with them over the last 1 1/2 years. They are System Audio Rangers. I'm fairly certain there is not a single Salk speaker owner that has heard these so I am going to have to find out for myself. My ultimate goal would be the HT-3 but I thought I might pick up the SongTower, new or used to compare to what I have. My speakers retail for $4,500 and that's not to say that the $1800 ST's couldn't compare. I just thought it would give me an idea on the Salk house sound, if there is such a thing.
I guess I'm curious if anyone has heard a System Audio speaker that has a pair of Salk speakers, admittedly a long shot. Whether any ST owners were surprised when they beat out there more expensive speakers that they replaced. Also, whether and ST owners made the jump to the HT-3 and never looked back.
I am currently using a Berendsen Preamp > Odyssey Stratos monos/McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe Rev. A. My sources at the moment are a Galibier Serac tt and an Emotiva ERC-1 cdp.
Thanks
