Re: My $0.02 on the Sjofn

The Guru loudspeakers are 100% developed and manufactured in Sweden. No Chinese components used at all. Drivers are made by Tymphany in Denmark on Guru specs.
Boxes made by a small carpenter's shop and paint jobs done by a custom HD/hotrod painter (7 or 8 layers of paint).
There is a QM10 version for use on mixer consoles. The console version is meant to be placed free field and does not take advantage of boundary reinforcement. Bass response is still very impressive and it reproduces bass very well down to 36 Hz (not the sub 30Hz you heard at the show, but still very good).
I was a beta tester for 18 months of the console version of the speaker and I enjoyed working with these very much. They are extremely accurate and you hear everything in them, and they are very easy on the ears. None of these very tiresome sharpended highs that you'll find with Genelecs and that causes listening fatigue. A perfect tool for a recording engineer. I have never experienced any lack of stereo image like you suggest, and believe me, I would have noticed! I worked proffessionally with these 6-10 hours every day for 18 months! Best Regards, Nils Viktor
PS You're welcome to e-mail me with questions on my experience of the QM10's for proffessional use.
