The Double Impacts are good, BUT...I’d have to put a vote in for Viking Acoustics Berlin R horn loaded speakers. They are a medium size monitor stand speaker that can play unbelievably loud with stupendous dynamics and marvelous tone. NO horn coloration. There have been a couple on Audiogon with one under $6000 used with stands. Said to be one of the best 7 sounding loudspeakers made--no cost considered. The Berlin R’s go for about $14,000 new. They have beautiful carved wood horns and stands also. They are now making a MK II model that costs over $20,000 that is an improvement over the original model. The horn is slightly larger and there are other small changes to elevate the model. True 97 db at I mtr. speakers. Can use most any quality amp including SET’s. They have great bass as it also receives the horn loading. You would not guess they were smaller speakers at all. Tremendous micro and macro details with no etch.
If you can wait a couple months, the Aether Audio speakers company will be returning with a vengeance and their speakers are very similar to the Berlin R. They use a waveguide on the tweeter and are heavy, but medium sized stand mounted speakers they are ultra dynamic and able to go deep with power and PLAY LOUD with no etch or irritation.
