Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?

Warrenh, I did go with the dedicated stands. The stands on the website do look interesting. It must be kind of tough to adjust speaker position, but once they are set up that is no longer an issue. I am sure they work quite well.
Ozzy62 or Blcube what is the difference between the RM 9 and the MK II version?

I forgot to add the SS amps I was considering Sim W-5, Plinius SA 102, Ayre V5X, Pass X150.5 or X250.

My stands are downright impossible to place once the Caravelles are atop them and a bear to place by themselves. The most minor adjustment, with my stands, requires speaker removal. Each of the three legs moves individually. A real pain in the ass for set up. The sound, however, beautifully molifies the perspiration and the "oh shit" or two that are required. The dedicated stands have to be easier to deal with. Never-the- less: it will be worth it....

I have had someone tell me that because this is a ported design, I will be able to hear the port. He said because it is a small speaker that I would hear it in the mids. Can anyone explain what he means by this?

Pal...It probably means that he doesn't like ported speakers, and this is one potential problem he can cite about them. I suggest that you listen for yourself. By the way I prefer sealed speakers myself, but it's your nickle.
