Von Schweikert DB99 vs Consonance M15-thoughts?


I own the db99's. running with 16 wpc set monos. I just heard the new Consonance M15 horn speaker and thought the M15's actually sounded better. to me it sounded open and has tighter bass than the db99's. hard to believe, but could this be a better speaker than the 99's? anyone compared these ? thanks

The few photos I've seen make the back of the M15 look like it is shaped for a corner. Are they designed for corner placement only, or can they be out in the room?
The two or three times I have heard them (M-15), they have been out in the room, about five feet out and four feet or so from the side walls. I have not heard them in comparison with the 99's so I cannot offer any comparisons there. From my perspective, what I have heard, was not my cup of tea. Emphasis on the MY.
My ears heard too much of a disconnect between the horn and that BIG woofer, with a port big enough to stick your head into. The fit and finish is very nice though.
Hello Cooch,

How lucky it is for you that a nice dealer like Steve Monte carries both the speakers you are interested in. Also, he has them both in the same room where you audition them with the same equipment.

I have not heard the DB-99's.

As much as I like lowfidilety ( great guy ) I respectfully disagree with his opinion of the M15's. I heard them on 2 occasions and both times I really found them to be among other things very colored and not coherent. This only my opinion and others may disagree. So please audition if you can.

All the best,
Tom
