I don't see much posted on these speakers. I have owned a pair for a long time. The imaging and general sound quality are excellent. Seems they are little referenced though.

I owned a pair of Newform Research r8-2's from August of 93 to May of 2014. I replaced them with Cambridge Audio Aero 6's. The Newforms are good[don't get me wrong] but two of my audio buddies were here when we compared the two speakers and all three of us loved the BMR drivers in the Cambridge. I bought the Aeros and sold the Newforms. And if I had a waited I could have got the Aeromax 6's which are even better. But I do use the IsoAcoustics speaker stand [which simply transform the speakers to another level.] YMMV as everyone has their own favourite "sound". Regards and jhappy listening, cheers, Lloyd and Happy July 4th from your Canuk posters!
as mine throw a large deep soundstage and often is better than live music that I hear and better imaging. I would like something smaller at times, a nice 2 way on stands. '

I should point out the r8-3o's were sealed dual 8" peerless bass mid range drivers aside with only 30" Newform ribbons that crossed over at 900 from the 8" bass mid range drivers. I would suspect that your 645 would have a higher and deeper image. I just love the way the BMR drivers of the Aeros work in my room. Actually the Newforms were too large and could easily overload my room. The Aeros just played "happier" in my room. No taking anything away from the Newforms, they are still geat speakers IMO. Are you biwiring them? regards, lloyd
I biwire.

John, the Newform research 645's are fantastic. I would love a pair. My friend Mike Samra has a pair that I've been admiring for years. I don't think there are a lot of them out there and you never see them for sale on the secondary market.
It's all about the music!
