Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?

"Are they using CSC-X Peerless Midbass?"

It certainly appears to be, along with a Seas 25TAF/G Tweeter.

Claims of bass better than a Wilson Maxx or a Dunlavy IV from a small box? Overall better than Maggies and my beloved Spendors? Am I really to believe these statements?

First, let's look at who's making these claims. Members with names like "maniac" and "tweak". Second, have you noticed that none of the people touting the Caravelles have been Audiogon members before 1999. Hmm, they're all relative newbies (not proof, but a possible sign of a conspiracy). Warrenh doesn't even have a 1,000 posts yet!

In order to settle these issues I challenge Harmonic Precision to give and me and 100 other skeptical music lovers/audiophiles just like me a free 6 month in home audition with their speaker. At the end of the trail period each skeptic can give a simple "thumbs up/thumbs down" verdict. To insure the integrity of the process I suggest the ABC reporter John Stossel oversee the process and the results be publish in the Journal Science for peer review. HP, are you up to the challenge?

Onhwy61, have you been taking your meds? Dosen't sound like it? lol...peace, warren

Onhwy61, ROTFLMAO! Nice parody. I find it interesting that with the great bass these speakers can produce no one publishes any spec's to support that claim. Certainly someone should know what the -3db point is for the bass. Maybe The Audiotweak should lend TWL his RTA. :-)
