What speakers for 10k?

Audioconnection, I own AQ jags, k12 and mont blanc cables I've pulled battery packs off and heard no difference."

Those are all great cables. I still have the Jaguars. You can't just pull the cable off the DBS and listen to it. It will still sound the same. If you want to compare, disconnect the DBS on 1 set of cables and let is sit for a while. Maybe 2-3 weeks. Then compare that pair of cables to a different set of Jaguars that you didn't unhook the DBS system on. DBS isn't something you can just turn on and off and listen for a difference.

I certainly don't believe their published figures."

I'm just curious as to why you guys wouldn't believe those specs? Its usually amp specs that aren't believable.

Jh,

Remember, there is no voodoo with these or any other speakers. The WT GT's are what they are... only good, basic, proven acoustical science and much empirical fine tuning. You don't have to defend anything.

Horns, waveguides, phase plugs and the like are not to be confused with voodoo. Wavetouch is simply using a fresh implementation of these proven and century old tools.

Also, as countless members here know, there are many unconventional 'tweek" products for increasing fidelity that are very legitimate. Wading out in those waters is not necessary.

The AQ cables I got a great deal on threw a local stereo store closing shop, the mont blanc I paid 200 for them and would have never considered paying the original 2k price tag. and I have unplugged battery pack and never heard the diff. and how does anyone know if WT is legit or not without hearing them? they offer a 40 day in home. comes down to track record, did apple have a track record? or what about Microsoft and this windows idea?

In general it is very difficult to combine high efficiency with a small enclosure size and good low frequency response. Those three compete with each other, This is sometimes called Hofmann's Iron Law (Hofmann was the "H" in KLH)

The design is ported, to give lower bass extension, which is something but the crossover is quite complex which reduces sensitivity.

Until I see an independent test, I am not buying the 94dB /watt/metre sensitivity they claim.

That's a good foundation to start out with, but you really do have to consider the subjective qualities that can't be measures.
