Boenicke

They are cut from the same cloth as the truly wonderful W5. Not heard them, but I think they might be killer.........

@gawdbless  -  yeah I have a feeling I'll love them...

@jperry  -  nice room & system. What do you like about the ProAcs?

@infection ,

Thanks for nice comments.

I like the natural sound (great on female voices in particular), imaging and the way the ribbon tweeter integrates seamlessly with the cone speakers.

If this is an important decision to you perhaps you might find a way
to go hear them? (As well as all the other contenders on your list. Call it a vacation unless your significant other is coming too. In that case it is just a "Getaway". Send her shopping somewhere else for the day while you do some listening!!

here are two I found on the web that deal with Boenicke.
I would dearly love to hear the bigger brothers to the W5.
