I wanted to add one additional bit. The Tempesta is Rick's best selling model, yet to my knowledge there have been no used pairs on the resale market at all. I've been watching for another pair to buy. There have a number of Cirrus and the others mentioned. Owner satisfaction is the goal in the end.
The usual suspects: S1, Cirrus, Tempesta, MMM1
Getting back into audio and starting to make the audition/research list... Speakers are always the toughest, especially with the internet brands that have no presence here.
Anyway, here is the current list. I'd love to hear from people who have actually heard these in comparable setups:
1. Magico S1 - yes, it is new. it is also hot. Also too much $$$
2. Vapor Cirrus - tons of good press, but is it just the current audiophile flavor du jour (much like Joseph and Devore before them)
3. Selah Tempesta - seems similar to the Vapor but with lesser cabinet?
4. Evo Acoustics MMM1 - lots of hype on this one being generated by the company - worth it?
I've had Soliliquy's a long time ago. Energy's of various sorts that never did anything for me. ProAc Tablettes I loved (but many, many years ago so rose-tinted glasses now), and a variety of other speakers here and there...
