Hear them almost everyday for about 3yrs now. Very nice speakers. I see you have room treatments behind the main, where else do you have them and did they make for a noticeable improvement? Cheers, Dave. |

Cheers, Dave. I have 3 more in the back and one on the side. Pretty much in as many places as I was able to mount them. They made a very nice improvement in the SQ of the room.  |

Or Rick at Selah Audio. I'd love to have a pair of Juliettas powered by 6 XPA-1's(takes 3 channels of amplification per speaker). |

Always wanted a pair of b&w 800 or 801s... New diamond 8 series are striking.. my wife calls them black R2D2's.
Women just don't get it when it comes to things that makes a man happy!!!

btw, there are tons of wonderful speakers well below 10k. I have some simple 2 ways that imo would smoke many multi thousand $ speakers. The magic is in the XO. Get a brilliant XO and THEN you can mix in brilliant drivers for a killer system. This is the design I'm using murphyblaster.com/content.php?f=usher2way.html If I had a 10k budget, I'd probably just get a really solid 3-way system. With that budget, you can even afford to get a solid DIY design and have someone make you the cabs with any veneer you want, and still be way under 10k. My < 10k picks for a reference stereo system: www.zaphaudio.com/ZRT.htmlwww.salksound.com/ht3%20-%20home.htmwww.troelsgravesen.dk/Jensen.htmThe Jensen's are the most appealing to me of the list. At 10k, I could have them built, and pay someone like Dennis Murphy or John Kreskovsky to verify or do final voicing and STILL be under budget :-D |
