Nice responses. The point of my question was: do you know of any speaker that can match the value you get in the Thor's/Odin's (basically same speaker)?? I find them to have no fatigue, and deliver super bass, mids, highs. Of course as I say, the Jadis engineers know how to make great musical amps, which match the Thors beautifully. My theory about speakers are the most important component, close second is the amp, close 3rd is the cdp. I was thinking about the Cayin MK800 mono blocks, each has 4 GU29's (also called FU29's) + their Top on line preamp. Take a look at those babies. Its the last amp on the page, you can barely see it , almost off the page. Then go to their preamps. But I'm assuming those 2 will cost be $$$, don't know the exact price. I'm guessing around $8K for both. That line has yet to fully hit the US market. So I'll "settle" for the Jadis DA60/used in about a yr. I'll be set for life.
Seas' Thors kit up N runnin
Finally after 3 years of waiting, I ordered the Seas' kit from Madisound, the Thor's a MTM xover designd by Joseph Appolito. Has 2 midwoofers, W17 and a high tech tweeter, the Millenium. Though they are 87db, running a Jadis Orch Reference tube amp, 4 KT 90's + a Cayin cdp. Very nice sound. I'll never complain again. Note: these speakers demand a Class A amp, anything less, don't touch them. The tone controls on the Jadis need to be spiked for the higher frequencies. Paul
