Pure Audio Project Loudspeaker with Voxativ driver option


I have played the Loudspeaker merry go round a lot Maybe 6 times in 7 years .
My last speaker was very good the Marten Logan impression 11a. And j upgraded the crossover 
It  sounded good but dynamics is not one of their string suits. I heard these Pure Audio Project
Speakers at a friend's, it was all over ML 11-A speaker gone. With these trio 15 model,
You have to put these Open Baffle speakers together they take about 5 hours to put together 
You have roughly 5 midrange- tweeter wide band driver options,I chose the Excellent Voxativ wide band driver,with the Leonitis crossover . This crossover has only 5 parts, and the option to not use the inductor for the midrange .I chose not to use it slightly less warm  ,but better detail by a few %.
There is only 1 Huge capacitor a 68 mictofareds. This is because it rolls off at about 350hz 
To the Dual 15 inch Neodymium woofers . The stovk capacitor decent Mundorf  Mcap,
Not good enough for me .let me back up a moment. The crossover board is a screw terminal Munforf board all Gold plated Copper. Which is Very good .no solder,direct contact,purer sound.
I put in the newer Clarity Csa- capacitor.  And a 1.0 Arizona Cactus aluminum foil Blue oil capacitor ,.a fantastic match.  Not content yet I added a 2.2uf Jupiter Copper foil Beeswax capacitor. A great combination with cactus .  After about roughly 300 hours 95% run in. These capaciyors take a Loong time.   The sound very Electrostatic like, plus a huge soundstage I am only 2ft from the front wall and 3ft from the sides. These speakers are 95db efficient 8ohms.
The Bass is very fast punchy and detailed in room to roughly 28hz ,from my demo cra.
The purity of the Voxativ driver is incredibly good,The almost natural driver I have ever heard .
They offer their field coil drivers thst are much better still starting at $8500,or $12000 a pair .
They go up to $32k for their top field coil drivers. The Voxativ drivers are all hand built in Berlin .
A 24 hour run under duress is completed before they go anywhere. 
A very important option I choose and was Highly recommended, was the Verastarr Wiring harness 
Option a $700 option that is a solid 10-15%  better with these foil wires,the Silver foils are a $1k option. Even st low volume you can hear the performance 60on the sol meter.
These speakers play every kind of music with clarity and great inner detail. They will play loud enough for most but not all. 90db on up is Ear damage territory,these will play to 95-100 db,higher on peaks. Head banging speakers these are not . Listening to Tracy Chapman, Art Garfunckle
They are in the room ,jazz playing Chet baker  the trumpet  just stands in space .
Rock and Rolll for sure the 15 inch mid- woofers mean business. 
If you are in New England Ct Ma area email me to come over for a listen.

Hello Lefson  my brother bought a psir from one if his friends in the UK
From what he said the Path Audio are just a shade warmer, in some systems they may prefer your brand, nothing in Audio is Finite.
I heard the Pure Audio at the recent RMAF, on recommendation from a customer. A very interesting speaker- and sure it can do head banging; I heard a Porcupine Tree cut during the demo.

I spoke to the designer- the speaker is flexible in its configurations- its possible to set it up as a 16 ohm load, which is beneficial to all amplifier types by reducing distortion, although solid state amps won't make as much power (and unless a lower power design to start with, this is not a big deal given the efficiency of this speaker).

The price is also very reasonable given the performance!
Agree with Ralph! The PAP speaker I have (previously the Voxativ and now the Horn1) - they can certainly please headbanger. I'm not one of those. But I listen to lot of rock music. I'd not have them if they couldn't rock. And they rock so well!

@audioman58 I do have the Lenoidas crossover for my Horn1. I'm thinking of getting the bi-ampable horn crossover. According to Doug's review on Dagogo, there's a chance that I may like that even more. 

I'm curious to hear more about Verastarr internal wire upgrade. To be honest, I do not need more details. There's is so much more details coming out of music that I didn't know existed. What else Verastarr wire brings to the music? I'm also curious whether the Verastarr speaker wire would be a nice match with PAP speakers as well
The Verastarr cable upgrade is not all about quantity it is all about the naturalness and quality of delivery . I tried his interconnects now have the Silver Gold Alloy foils incredibly good .My Xmas present as well as Copper foil d peaker cables.the power cords on digital is s Solid upgrade.
There is little chance you would send the Verastarr harness back once in your system give them a solid 150 hours , then put the old stock cables back in . 
It is like s stock v6 engine ,vs a Lz-1 Super Sport formula 1 engine.
If you have quality electronics you will hear what you are missing especially at low volumes and interplay between instrumental shadings.
I was do impressed as I mentioned earlier i did my whole system as s early Xmas 
Present to myself.
Hi Guys just wanted to chime in a second. The Verastarr foils offer dimensionality over stock wire. Details and dimensionality are related but not the same.. the very highest frequencies hold minute details which is where immediacy lives. In real life those frequencies trigger a limbic response.. the fight or flight thing we have from evolution. When we were in the woods hunting or gathering if a stick snapped behind us, instantly we were flung head over heels into survival mode as we whipped around to see what was there. We can still trigger this response with an audio rig and its what makes some rigs seem more "real" than others. Verastarr AudioFoils allow components to operate at full potential with the loudspeakers. There are much more distortions and loss in regular wire like stock zip cord. Very possibly the stuff you are hearing is distortion and is why the response is to not want any more. The distortions I am talking about are essentially inaudible and you really have no idea they are there until they are removed. Yet inaudible as they are, the smear or cloud or "fill up" the image with something you cant really put your finger on.
Hope this helps !
