Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?

I forgot to mention that the Caravelle's with a sub, yes in a larger room, would be my pick over the Maxx. Frankly I don't really care what name brand parts are in the speaker. It's the sound that matters to me. Personally, I think they are a tremendous value today allowing one to invest in music or upstream electronics. FWIW, I own VAC PHI equipment, which is outstanding tube gear from Kevin Hayes, a well regarded manufacturer and great service too.
Having been an audiophile for more than 18 years with various equipment in various settings, I am just trying to help other audiophiles who may have an interest in these speakers. They really are that good. If you are in the market, I would encourage you to try them. All you have to lose is a little time and shipping. BTW, I have owned the Caravelle now for close to 7 months +, well beyond the 'honeymoon' if you know what I mean.

Onhwy61: More proof that no good (or witty) post goes unpunished, eh? ;^) If this speaker is only half as great as some of its proponents are grim, they've really got a winner there!

I wish I had a nickel for everytime someone used the old "I don't have a spare $500,000" line on me.

Eldartford. You are right with these examples..but most every crossover I have seen dangles on the postive side only..Some very complex first order x-overs such as those found in some T---l speakers are tied across the positive leg and this may be part of why they are so reactive and difficult to drive..Having a symmetical crossover with components on both legs so as to balance the circuit {and the speaker becomes a part of the amp circuit} could only better serve the inner action of the amp and speaker..Tom

Scotty333, Having heard the Caravelles on your tubes and on Hifimaniacs Big Krells, which sound do you prefer? I still don't know if I want to go tube or SS.
