Agreed, he does seem to chase the dragon concerning audio. However, I am seeing more and more points indicating open baffle is really something to look at. Are there any commercial speakers using LII drivers?
It is rather amazing they are discounting the Maco Acoustics speakers by 40% for early adopters. Bringing the plywood model fairly close to the price of the Caladans.
I thought reading between the lines that Jay was not as enthusiastic about the Maco as he might have been, but maybe just my imagination.
@jetter I'm a big fan of "non-box" speakers i.e. dipole, bipole (had mirage M3s forever), Omnis and open baffle (had dahlquest DQ 10 40 years ago). Im sure there are differences (between the different kinds) but the speakers disappear, and throw a wide soundstage. On the other hand I gather they are known for bad imaging. Jay starts to say this but doesn't fully spell it out.
I have lusted after PureAudioProject Quintet15 for years, but can’t seem to pull the trigger without hearing them in person. They are very elusive and it’s hard to spend $10K+ and still need to assemble them.
