Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: Wanting to trade the Stratus Gold already eh? NT

Have you tried JM Reynaud? I have never heard them but Bob Neil had a post on here and they have new model - This if for the monitor suggestion not the heavey metal suggestion obviosly. A fellow Audiophile sold off his AN K/Spe and bought the Auruum Cantus. He had the K in too big a room and with SS amps and not in a corner -- So I can understand your issue with the AN's.

The Cantus or whatever is a ribbion tweeter - have not heard them but might be worth a shot as well.

I don't know that AN is going to make the floorstanders anymore? They were an interesting design part hor part transmission line but with close to 1/3 the back cabinet being exposed.

It's too bad most of the marklet is glutted with speakers that have the exact same design approach -- it limits one's ability to discern real qualitative differences anymore.

Listening to Kraftwerk right now -- Interesting band (synthesizer crazy). And they SE tubes can;t do treble or bass power.

I wish there were more pure kick-ass rockers I knew of to recommend you give a try to - but it seems the public is willing to accept panzy ass gutless speakers and pay big money for it (especially if it comes in a nice cherry wood).

I always say that sooner or later they'll figure it out. It's actually kind of good to own some of the stuff the rags endlessly tout because then wwhen you do finally hear something good you might turn into a fanatic like RGA :-)

And as I've been knocked for mentioning UHF - I also want to be clear that I have disagreed with them nbumerous times for judging speakers without hearing them, and for liking some of those same gutless wonders. If you ever heard the Castle Eden you know what I'm talking about. Talk about a dull sounding speaker and they raved and raved and raved?? Yeah Castle doesn't make it anymore.
