Feedback on Classic Audio Reproductions T-5

Good ideas.

The T-5s are actually twice the money, but they're small enough for my room. I've been saving my dough and will now wait until RMAF where I can listen. Another contender may be the Horning Aristoteles if I can blow by my original goal of $6K and dig deeper.

Tvad - I've read your threads on the Audio Notes and have a question. How much would I give up if I can't get them in the corners or create decent space behind my head?

Jax2, I have not heard the Rhythm Prism's, but Duke designed them with the Jazz Module in mind and likens their sound to them. I own the Jazz Module and have been thrilled with them. Problem is Duke can no longer get the TAD-1101 drivers, so for others the Rhythm Prisms may be a great alternative, and at a lower price point.

I've heard the Swarm with the Planetarium lineup. I agree this sub system has significant advantages over traditional sub set-ups. However, for my Jazz Module they are not required. I also have a small room so real estate is at a premium.

I haven't heard the Jazz Modules, but heard the Dreammakers and was pretty floored by the sound and scale. Duke designs some nice kit. So if he can't get the TAD-1101 drivers does that mean the Jazz and Dreammaker will be discontinued?

Yet one more good direction to check into is Coincident floorstanders, which I use currently. You might want to mention which amp your using, the size of your room and the kinds of music you listen to. All those things may help narrow down the choices and get you some more input. If you go to RMAF you'll probably be able to hear many of these options.
