soundchasr, paralysis? Nah, no way. This is fun! Right?

Remember, the goal is to find THE ONE, the "perfect" speaker. All the others are NOT THE ONE. If you fail, you will have misery forever - or until starting the process again. Hehehehe…. ;)

(reminiscing, I recall all the wasted energy and effort to isolate the One. Ridiculous, now in retrospect.)

I should offer, in sincerity, that if you have a question regarding any of the speakers I have reviewed for Dagogo.com, feel free to ask. 

 I had 3.5rs and when I would play dynamic hard rock, I’d blow a fuse every time. I also blew two different tweeters with the fuses in place. After the second tweeter replacement it was time to move on. Very good sounding speakers, but not much midbass punch and severely lacking dynamics. I’m sure Maggies have gotten better since then.

Truth be told, I liked my 1.6s with modified xovers better than the bigger boys.

Any love here for the Wharfedale 4.4?

A friend of mine had the Wharfedale Jade 7 tower speaker a few years ago. The only way I could describe the sound is "odd". Music never seemed right coming out of that speaker, almost a phasey quality. He didn't keep them long.

I feel like I need to sh*t or get off the pot, as they say. Right now here’s where I am (and this could change any minute...):

>Spatial M5 Sapphire
- no way for me to demo yet, don’t know about return policy - they never responded. Lots of good feedback about them.

>Vandersteen Model 2Ce Signature III
-Can order from Music Direct and they have a pretty liberal return policy. Sounds (no pun) like a very popular speaker with a lot of people.

>Ohm Walsh 2000
-4-5 month wait time with decent return period Great feedback and looks good on paper.
