Hi Scott, thank you for asking.

JBL's and Altecs are not where I am trying to go but I would like 93 to 95 db.

Over the years I have enjoyed listening to but not owned all:
Magnaplanar tympany
Quads
Beverages
Dahlquist DQ10
Wilson Grand Slam
Hill Plasmatronics

What I am looking for and not looking for:
Price
No horns
Efficiency
Roughly 115 Max DB output
Smooth highs and mids
Good bass extension to 25 hz, tightnes and detail
Easy load for tubes to drive
No biting metalic sounding highs but extension to at least 18k.
Work well within 3' or less from the wall
Flat response
Very low distortion
Absence of cabinet resonances
Time alignment
Compatability with Jazz, Big band and R&R

At at 59 I still have my high frequency response strong past 15K.

Yes I know get a job at the music hall.
