Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?


I am very close to ordering a pair of the Harmonic Precision Carravelle speakers. I am looking in the below $5,000 range and these look interesting. There are only a couple of reveiws so I was wondering if anyone has heard them and been unimpressed? It is a lot of money but I may take a chance on it. Anyone think I can do better at my price point. I will be buying a new amp after I choose a speaker.

Here here Twl! Nicely said. FWIW I’ve heard your speaker and was suitably impressed. Which is the opposite of what I am with your dealer here who is as confused about terminology as he is about technology and serves no particular purpose other than to hype and shill. Frankly, your product deserves better.
TWL,

Can you let us know what kind of caps,resistors, and inductors inside the Caravelle?

Cabinet and X-over are,of course,important how about the drivers? Why did they stop at the cabinet and X-over?

Look at what you get for the binding post!

You own Lowther drivers and you know which one the most important parts and which one that will make a huge different on the speakers !

Are you building/starting speakers based on the cabinet first?

BTW: thanks for educating me in analog world since i learn a lot from your posts.
You all are right about the drivers being only part
of the deal. This whole thread reminds me of the
GM Europa...inexpensive drivers but a smart mind behind
them! Great sound...$995.
Warrenh & I went several rounds awhile back on the two
until he got KO'ed!!!! :o)
Jusss kiddin Warren!, I would like to hear the Caravelles
one day, but now I am happy using a great sounding &
looking speaker that btw uses inexpensive drivers also. :o)

Has anyone ever heard the Europa & Caravelle??/thoughts??
Speakerdude, Nicely said. I've long thought that the problem with the Caravelle's was more probably a reaction to some of the folks promoting them than the actual speakers themselves. There are certainly as, or more, expensive speakers out there that these speakers claim to be competetive with (or better than). Sure would be interesting to be able to audition them some time.
Telescope trade,

"...inexpensive drivers but a smart mind behind

Now we are talking and i agree with you that they are bargain.

But did you buy it for 5K? Did you fell it better than Wilson Maxx?

Reasonable is the key word!
