The room has no carpets, only ceramic tiles for flooring. The height is 10'. Two walls have bookshelves and the other two have drapes. There is a set of heavy drawing room like sofa set and a desk and chair. He has his Apple connected to a three piece Sony which sounds very good.
My friend listens mostly to Abba, Sinatra, MJ and old disco. He likes Elac the best and nowadays listens to only that. He was disappointed at my comments. But he did not hide the bottle.
My presumption is that AJ himself is not fully satisfied with his 'budget' speakers. The new UB5 may be the answer.

That seems to be quite a hard room that would benefit from treatment. Tile floors. Yikes!

"My presumption is that AJ himself is not fully satisfied with his 'budget' speakers." And you know this how? Wild guess
Alan
Intuition perhaps. Educated guess maybe.

Alan said he puts more money into the drivers and crossover and less into the cabinets. I don't see how going from 1/2" MDF to 3/4" MDF would cost that much. The cabinets do vibrate. Even on the smaller B-5. That's why I got them. I thought they would vibrate less.....
Yes, I also figured that with smaller cabinets the B5 will have less cabinet vibration and perhaps sounds cleaner than the B6. I dont know if this vibration is intended as part of the design scheme by AJ like the Harbeths. Now I must find a place where I can audition the B5, perhaps Bright Audio in Manhattan.
Cheers
