New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k

Spiral Groove Canalis Anima is the best bookshelf speakers I have ever auditioned, regardless of price. Don't own them.......yet :-)

Let's throw another hat into the ring, ACF..just won bookshelf stand mount speaker of the yr abs sound and some people i've spoken to have said it's mindblowing what u hear for 4399..

B_limo, yes it's both the mid woofer and tweeter. Jed's done such a great job at integration that I have to say, again, I still can't detect the crossover. I don't know which model of mid woofer but on his site he states that it's the latest with an improved motor/magnet structure, or something like it.

I've been fiddling with speaker cables for the last hour or so and tried some Mapleshade Double Helix and it went in the wrong direction. Next up were an old pair of Clear Day single run SCs with spade connectors and the treble opened up nicely, almost to that of the Tonians, but not quite. The trade off was a lessening of the lower mids and bass a tad but it's a nice trade off for now.

I don't understand just yet how the Tempo Electric SCs ruled the day with my Tonians and had a "hooded" effect with the Clearwave Duets. All I can think of is the gauge. The Clear Day SCs are of a smaller gauge and are easier to toss around but still silver so that may have something to do with it.

Anyway, the speakers are sounding better and better and I feel my obsessive compulsive tendencies returning. Is that a good thing?

All the best,
Nonoise

Nn,

For the cost...The cables that I have found to be the most neutral and fast, open and clear yet still completely fleshing out harmonic content, ie depth and spacial as well as you are there vocals is ZENTARA Reference. Pure copper 8 meter pair, Furutech spades around a grand. Unbelievable value.
