Some my have seen my post in the SET forum looking for 45 SET-friendly speakers.I've been using Druids in my 2nd system for about a year and have alternatively liked and disliked them. After a lot of treatments and positionings, I still find them "bright" or hard on certain music and find the treble generally disconnected from the music (is this the super tweeter's effect??). Although I have improved this.
I am considering buying a pair of lowther or (probably) A-N minimonitors and was wondering if people that are familiar with both (these and the Druids) could comment. What am I likely to find? I also have to say that why the Druids mids are good, they are not world-class smooth and natural. On vocals. At least to me.
As for bass, the Druids themselves are lacking in low bass but I tolerate that. If the 8" A-N driver is as good, that's fine with me. Since this is a 2nd system, in my workshop, I don't bother with a sub.
Since I'd be buying the Audio Nirvana speakers brand new, without audition (no chance to), I'm just trying to gather all information possible before taking that plunge. Thanks.

--not heard any Audio Nirvana but there's a favorable report & tests on Super 10 HERE
The review sounded negative to me - but maybe that's because I don't read German and German text always looks negative?
I was in the same situation with the Audio Nirvana line. I spoke with David Dicks at length, and ordered the An 8 super version. I just got back from Italy last night, and unpacked them. I haven't had a chance to play with them much, but my initial response is very favorable. Treble and midrange are impressive. I can't really tell about the bass yet, as I need to fit them into a properly sized enclosure. I will be horn loading them, so the documented rising treble response is actually a blessing. I was impressed with the build quality. The huge magnets are not soft as one internet review states, and the speakers seem to be a great bang for the buck.
Well, I didn't read your post very carefully, did I?! Obviously you purchased drivers only.
Cool. Mine come tomorrow.What enclosures? I got the mini monitors - last ones - he said they're only gonna sell raw drivers from now on!
