Best new loudspeaker

hi shadorne:

there is no mystery. no component is perfect. since imperfection is all that is available, there is a variety of imperfect products, preferred by a variety of hobbyists.

when taste is the motivator of behavior, many products will flourish. this is true in other industries as well.

a successful enterprise will differentiate its product from that of its competitors, thereby helping to insure its viability. manufacturer's do that as well as trying to convince buyers of the superiority of their products. if enough buyers are convinced, such businesses are successful.

hi audiophile1958:

you can have a negative attitude toward a product initially, even if you haven't heard theproduct, if it is a member of a class of products to which you have been exposed and the result has been a dislike for such products.

for example, while i have heard many cone speakers, i am skeptical that i would like a cone speaker that i have not heard, based upon my vast experience with cone speakers.
it is highly unlikely that i will ever own a cone design. yet i have not auditioned every cone design.

when i hear of a cone speaker that is highly regarded, i am inclined to think i will not like it. of course, i would need to audition the speaker, to confirm my predisposition. however, i would indeed make a wager that i would not want to own a cone speaker, based upon a fair evaluation of that speaker.

Symposium. Ugly as sin but beautifuly voiced and balanced.

Mrtennis we may not agree on all our tastes but your
statement on success of a enterprise was well done.

Hello I am new to these forums I guess I have been to busy
allways working ,as far as Audio I have over 30 years in the field and have seen it all come and go seeing the rantings on the Quad speaker ,and Nsr Sonic ,Maggis these are all excellent products in their own parameters and even a reference to the improvements made by using high calibur capacitors and parts which can be big ,there is no such thing as a perfect loudspeaker in absolute terms ,and unless u use the same electronics and cables to compare them, it is impossible to even do a one to one comparison.discussing what your particular speaker does well and it's price point is another story this has been my experience .
