Speed kills....

Which is why I love 'stats so much.  For myself, dynamics and leading edge transients are essential.  Are there any alternatives in terms of dynamic "boxey" type (verity?) speakers that I should listen to?  My present speakers are hales t8's (hales has been out of business a long time ago) and they are about as far away from that ideal as you can get.   I want to go in a different direction for my FINAL set of speakers.

@russellrcncom ,

Best of luck! I can relate. Let me know how you make out. in line with @nagel's comments, I've found a fast Class D amp leans in that direction. Mine's a Primare I32. I bet the I35 is nuts.

I love the title of the OP's thread: Speed Kills....
It takes me back to the old days of cars and drag races into the wee hours of the morning. Back then I wanted a t-shirt that read:
Speed Kills-Try It. 
I see it's very appropriate here as well.

All the best,
Nonoise

@russellrcncom, I too have the Stax Lambda (Pro) phones and SRM-1. Have you heard the Sanders ESL's? I heard them at the show in SoCal a few years ago, and found them very much to my liking, more than the current Quads.

Never heard them, but you may want to try:

Also, you may want to try other "planar" type such as Martin-Logan, Magneplanar, etc.

This may be your cup of tea.

Of course, YMMV.

Good Luck!
