Hello,
I decided to get the best - PM4AER, and am COMPLETELY glad I did. As I said I had Maggie 3.6's, AS OTL amps, and liked them enough to start the MUG and Planar asylum. Finally sold them and considered getting out of the hobby beause I just coulnd't get them to SING! Sure they sounded good, but more "doesn't he look natural" than real, live music.I heard a buddy's AvanteGarde Duo's, after a year of tweaking and breakin, and realized "hey, these are pretty damn good!" Then my friend built a pair of Voigt pipes and I realized "Hunh, single driver speakers. GODDAM! These are even better in many respects". The Oris always intrigued me, so I took the 3.6 cash and bought them as an experiment. At least I will have owned boxes, planars, and horns so will know the playing field.
While I wait for Bottlehead iron (which takes *forever*) I have a cheap receiver in there, and my TNT/JMW table as source. This goddam setup makes more music than ANYTHING I've ever heard. More detail, more presence, oh hell, I hate sounding like another audiophile who wets his pants over his latest upgrade, but these are the best speakers I, and my buddy have ever heard. Compared to Maggie, Quads, AG, JMLabs, etc etc. There's nothing worse than a poorly executed horn, and nothing better than one done well.
Get them, get the best drivers you can afford, and end the speaker upgrade battle.
Dan
