Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ??

@asvjerry  "Dale Harder opined that my cones were too heavy, which I readily agreed to.  The originals were 5 mil litho aluminum, which I got a sleeve of 100 sheets gratis from a friend 2 decades ago. Since I've moved on to 2 mil alum and titanium. The tweets are 1 mil alum, and a PIA to form; look at it hard, and it creases...

Dale ( http://www.hhr-exoticspeakers.com/HHRhome.htm  ) does the closest thing to the original Ohms that I (and likely anyone else) does...

The prices are what I would call reasonable for owning any of his units.
His 'normal gig' is owning a company that (I believe) makes laser equipment....HHR ES is his labor of love, and it shows. *S*

I've never had the chance to hear them. He 'does' shows occasionally, but likely only those that happen to be nearby."

I sometimes think if everyone heard Dale Harder's Ohm F reproductions, this forum wouldnt exist. Everyone would just own them. My good friend has a pair of his TLS-1's. Just truly remakable instruments. 

@bigman 

Those Larsens are .... funny looking. :-) Interesting though. Time to do more research. 

I think I'm going into the analysis paralysis stage.  

I see another vote for Vandersteen...

This would be so much easier if we could just demo the things! 

I gave my son a pair of Magnepan MMG's which he uses in a small room in his apartment in NYC.  They sound fine.  Go with the Maggies.  

I owned maggie 1.7i's and went to Spatial X5's.  That AMT driver in the X series is phenomenal.  And Maggies are a pain to drive.  I will tell you this....I haven't owned a box speaker in 30 years.

I have a pair of magnepan 3.5r in room 13'x17' and they sound amazing. Very open sound with nice deep bass. I'm using a Krell FPB-600.
