Best new loudspeaker

Yep, goatwuss, I think you have nailed it. Even if I were in the market for new speakers, I would pass on such shady doings as this. And I still have a hard time understanding a speaker with 4 dissimilar drivers operating with one xover point. I'm no EE, but doesn't make sense to me.

Shakey

Look you guys do what you will ,there are 2 capacitors which are their main Xover point .and as far as capacitors
The Mundorfs were the best untill I found out the Hand built Duelunds are better ,if you did a search you will
see this .This is enough on this subject.and as far as the Xover parts their is no better that is a fact do your home work and ask any speaker builder who has worked with them.
anf pjl knows what he is talking about the Duelunds are by far the best cap and Audio fiel you don't have a clue
I doubt u ever made a loudspeaker by hand . and I have already ordered the NSR Sonic D-3 it is the best speaker out there in the $5k class as the upcoming reviews will confirm!

To you guys who feel you have to rap me ,I confess i do write late at night and make writting errors .What I do believe in is the products I sell .I am proud that I have ordered several of the Nsr Sonic D-3 and with 2 Audiogon members having the faith in what they have read and to hear them at the show to order them from me .I don't see why we cannot get along ,I truly believe they are by far the best loudspeaker to come along in a long time and I will even pay the Gas for someone to take the time to make the drive out in March when I get my Reference with the all Duelund setup.I hope this is plain enough, and as far as the Xover parts go I have several thousand of hours experience in comparing parts quality and the Duelands are by far the most natural to come along yet ,do your homework and you too will see what a lot of people are finding out, unless you have listened to these speakers and Xover parts first hand for at least several hours then you cannot give a educated opinion.

never will any cone design be the best. electrostats are less inaccurate in reproducing timbre.

there is a way to demonstrate this, but unfortunately people live to far away to do a simple test.

the quads unlimited quad 57 are closer to real than anything out there, period.

I have had stats and you are partially correct .
The best stat by far for full scale is the Soundlabs A1
one of the best loudspeakers out there but big and not room freindly .Nowadays most living rooms donot want a big loudspeaker that is for a dedicated room .Electrostatic loudspeakers have probably the clearest midrange out there
but there is much less of a sweetspot than a cone loudspeaker,the top end for sure is softer and donot have the dynamic range from soft to loud,also they are not as efficient. These are facts just read from the many reviews.
