Speakers free of grain, glare and steel?

Green Mountain Audio.....

Shakey

Stretch out and try something different. I have been up and down speaker row and having discovered the Holistic Audio H1s, they been a life style change for me. No longer confined to the sweet spot for stereo, totally natural sound, room no longer figures into the equation, and listening to music so much more. It is great to see the expressions on other hi-fi guys faces when they hear these. They hear things they have not heard before without it being thrown with a shovel. Even low level listening is enjoyable, which I always had a problem with before.

Contact Jack Caldwell and talk with him about these. Don't walk down the new speaker path without a consideration given to these. If you would like to talk to me about them contact me with an e-mail.

It is amazing what makes a speaker sound bad outside of a poor design. If it is a good design and the cabinent is solid and has decent drivers it is poor internal wiring and cheap crossover parts. I have moded may speakers with better internal wiring and better crossover parts and have had huge results in the right direction.

Aerial 5's or Harbeth. To me the Aerials are magic.

OHM Walsh on SS amp scores highest in all your areas for me.

Too many to list on tube amp depending on personal preferences. PSB Synchrony is the one I have heard that comes to mind.
