Need recommendations on stand mount speakers

Team,

So did as much listening and research as I could handle (patience is not my greatest virtue) and I kept being drawn back to the Canton Reference 9.2 dc.  Not well known in the states, but, like my Thiel, they make their own drivers.  I believe that says a lot about a loudspeaker company.  You can get a general feel of the sound from the YouTube vids on it, bass is a bit better in real life of course, very articulate.   The also have a good soundstage, though my room dimensions limit me a bit here. 

Also their price was right to boot, $1200 shipped, I thought, what the hell.

Visually, they are quite beautiful in gloss piano black with their curved sides and the craftsmanship is on par with the best I’ve seen, and weigh about 25 lbs each. 

So how do they sound.  They are clear, but warm. They are fast as well, and not etched at all.  Highs are quite nice. Very natural. They remind me of my Thiel CS 2.4’s, but a bit warmer, and they are fuller range than they have any right to be.  I get usable 25 hz as the test tones can attest, but I will try a sub I have just for kicks. 

Anyway, I’m greatly pleased, thanks for all the input. 

But are they custom tuned to your ears? Because if they are not, they will be like buyIng a pair of shoes in the wrong size. 

As far as I know, no manufacturers has called me to set up an in home design charette to design speakers tuned to my ears. But hey, the day is young.

also, shoes wear out.

And yet you started a thread the other day asking for recommendations for warm sounding standmounts that you want. Gee are they going to be customed tuned to your special audiophile ears? How about those custom tuned dyi's that are being worked on by or for you that you mentioned with the possible "industry secrets" built in, maybe you can just line him up for a custom tuning on those.
