REALLY liking the Mini Philharmonitor suggestion!

Posted by thump on December 1, 2017 at 15:13:50:
i did a little more reading on philharmonitors, and REALLY like the sound of them now. i wasn't aware zaph audio stopped testing drivers and actually started his own line. his woofer looks to be inspired by the dayton reference line he thought tested so well which is reassuring that the woofer is up to the tweeter's quality.

thanks again for the heads up on those. i'd even consider the $can $speak woofer bigger brother as my final mains, but think i'd be willing to stretch my budget $200 for a pair of "phils" i might even live happily ever after with. smaller speakers generally image better, and the mini phils are very sexy to my eyes with their phase plugs and tweeter matching woofers.

the mini phils are essentially what i gave up on arguing with ascend acoustics to offer as a sierra 2 variant. they don't want to hear from any uppity acoustic suspension for lifers or a peep about overhang, resonance, phase distortion, slop, boom, port chuffing or any of the other unforgivable, to me at least, sins of bass reflex.

without hearing them in person, but doubting they can sound lousy with RAALs in the most crucial role... as far as i'm concerned, unless someone else is doing something similar,

PHIL'S DA MAN!!!!
