I nominate this company as building best speakers!

Coincidentally, the Ohms in the pictures at the link above also replaced a pair of older Magnepans in ~2008 for pretty much the same reasons.   I was looking for Quad ES sound but with better bass and dynamics and found it.  Also more practical placement in most rooms for best results.

As I thought.  No one in this thread other than the OP has actually ever heard Stenheim speakers.  At best, a couple of people have read the Absolute Sound review.

Is that a surprise?

I'd like to hear them.  Will look for them at next Capital Audiofest.

A friend of mine who has great ears said the best speakers he heard at the last Axpona show were Stenheim. I had never heard of them. I don’t know what model number they were but he would have purchased them if he could afford them. 

Don't see how anyone can say Magnepan speakers are light on tone and life like dynamics when they excel here feed with the right equipment.
