In Reply to: interesting read on the best speakers I have ever heard .... posted by trioderob on October 19, 2022 at 07:42:53:
...but opinions on sound quality of the SAME system will vary considerably.. For instance, according to Roger Sanders, I'm the only person ever to return a pair of model 10s (of any version).. I did so because they were not, overall, better than the hybrid-planar system, Serenity Super-7s, that I had and still have. (Roger was VERY helpful and gentlemanly about the whole thing.)I'm sure that many people don't much like the enveloping, somewhat-nonspecific sound produced by a properly setup polydirectional speaker system.. I for one would LOVE to hear one and am discussing when I can get to the US's only dealer, in NJ.
On the 'uniqueness' of the Dicks Dipole Driver, I believe that's a too-strong label for the result of the evolution of this concept, but that doesn't make it any more or less 'good'.. Apparently, its sound quality is excellent, and I'm highly tempted to spend the time and money to hear them, soon.. I have a big-enough room to keep them about 5 feet from all walls, so we'll see.
And 'planar' they're NOT.
