Jim Salk's Speakers?

I've been a member of this board for as long as I can remember it being around (9 or 10 years) and I've come to value the knowledge and opinions of the posters here more than most of the other audiophile boards. In observing the threads for the past several years there seems to be a is a consistent trend of speakers that get questions or comments.

On a couple of other boards I've read great testimonials of Salk Signature Speakers from owners that have owned many of the brands that get discussed regularly on this board, yet I read nary a word about Salk speakers here. The design construction quality of Salk speakers seems impecable given their price. To me they seem like a great value for the money, but I'd like to get your learned take on these speakers and how they compare within the audiophile market.

FWIW - I have absolutely no affiliation with Salk, just a curious bystander who is considering them for a future purchase.

I disagree with the above poster. I think the Song Towers play way above their asking price. And most people who have heard them agree........but to each his own.

I am not on the speaker merry go round anymore, that's for sure.

I just sold a pair of songtowers, they were ok speakers, but nothing special, It was my fault that I bought them, I went against my own policy of buying before hearing, I will say that a cabinets are outstanding when it comes to build quality, as a matter of fact, I bought a 5 speaker song setup, the worst was the center and small rears, there were lacking dynamics when watching movies,and were not very good at all on 5 channel music.

with 5" drivers the Bass was still pretty respectable Not earth shatering like a 10 or 12" that is impossibly but still a very solid,this speaker it won 1 5 speaker shootout ,as well as speaker of the year in it's price point so soundsomething must be special. you just did not like them for whatever reasons ,no speaker is good for everyone !!
