PranaFidelity speakers, what say you?

Marqmike, agree. Although it wasnt exactly 1:1, I probably logged about 1.5 hours in Steve’s LAAS suite. He is fantastic to talk to. My friend put it best... Norber is looking to invigorate the human sympathetic system response with his product. Yes, indeed.

Pts, the cabinet shape and the crossover both changed on the Bhava vs the 50Ninety. Whether or not the end result of these changes is truly "minor" as you put it, is at least debatable until someone hears them side by side or Steve himself chimes in.

Bhava is a speaker I am very keen on owning. It and the Marten Duke 2. But there’s only room for one of the two and I am still undecided...

Can anyone comment on how the Bhava compares to anything a little more well-known? It's hard to tell exactly where the generally "fit" in the audio realm, not necessary in the greatest factor but in sonic character. Like more Sonus Faber or Focal? ATC or Harbeth? Bright? Laid-back? Etc. Cheers!

I haven't heard ATC in a while, but Pranas are definitely not Focals.  I would say more refined sounding and not quite as detailed.  Pranas are absolutely non-fatiguing, yet they aren't as laid back as say Harbeths.  Of course, the sound I heard in Steven's suite was influenced by the Prana electronics, including his excellent amp which utilizes the NC1200 Class D modules, and the world class Kuzma table with 14" 4 point tonearm.  

This is a year old thread, but just wanted to say that I bought the Bhavas and love them. If anyone wants to hear them in the Southern California area, drop me a line.

I bought a pair of Bhavas that were delivered on Jan 30th, 2018 and I am loving them. I bought them thinking I would use a pair of stands I currently own but when I tried the stands, I immediately knew I was mistaken. So as a temporary measure I placed them on top of my Infinite Slope 1.8s and have been listening to them from that rather high perch ever since. They are truly amazing. Soon I will order the Sound Anchor stands that Steven recommends for the Bhavas and I am certain the sound will only improve. But to be honest, if they never sounded better than they do right now, I would still be happy. My amplifier is a McIntosh MAC7200. My turntable is a Linn LP12/Ittok/Lingo/Dynavector 20x. I listen to digital through Sonos and Bluesound Node 2.
