directional speakers

Maggie 3.7i’s should sound great with your Baach.  They don’t have a high Wife excepting index, but they really do sound nice.

All the best.

I suggest that you look into ZU speakers. They are very efficient, directional, and in your price range.  I’ve had the soul supreme for three years. I like the way they sound.

One brand that is not thought of as directional, but is is ATC. Those famous midranges are very much in waveguides and have limited dispersion.

As one who mixes dipoles, omnis', And 'directional' drivers with some ruthless abandon....

I will withhold commentary....it's 'not normal', and subject to suspicion...

...considering AXPONA, but April is already complicated for moi'...

@asvjerry The truth is I've never done "normal" well in any domain.  Why start now?

Seriously, the object of the Bacch system is to eliminate crosstalk, as I understand it.  We will see if it is worth the money.  It's an experiment, but no different than trying a new amp or DAC.

The Bacch system is going in a room as yet untreated, but I will get to that this summer.  Main reflection points on the ceiling and side walls will get primary attention.  Not sure about bass, but I have two tube traps that can be moved around.

I (and my wife!) am quite enjoying the small Spendors driven by the modded GaN1.  I just thought that now would be a good time to consider other speakers - and so I will look into the Harbeths, ATC's, the ML, the Fritz and Zu's. My read of the Theoretica info is that in a well-treated room speaker directionality is not crucial for what the Bacch does.  However, I don't want to defeat the system by getting speakers with wide dispersion.  My guess is that among the recommended speakers I can get the SQ I want and not do anything that defeats Bacch from eliminating crosstalk.

Thanks very much for all the advice above.  It's very helpful.
