House of the Rising Sone
Out in the mid or far field
Linearity and mid-woofers are over-rated

Mojo - The Legacy V STARTS at $49,500 USD per pair ... OUCH!
The Brystons and Golden Ear speakers are already under consideration, along with B&W 804D.

Scratch that one :-).
I have my opinions on the 804D but I don't want to bias you.

Craigsub, heres' a couple of others for your consideration- the Salk Soundscape 8 and Ascend Sierra Towers, would be great if both utilized a Raal tweeter.

Craig, as I suggested before, a candidate at a realistic price level which has gotten very high marks is the PBS X2T. This should be considered for the additional speakers you'll be testing.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

The PSB X2Ts, Paradigm Monitor 11s and the M80v2 sound very similar. At least they did a year ago when I heard them. I liked the mid-bass of the PSB over the other two. The PSB's mid-range was a little more forward than the other two.

In all fairness the Ascend Towers are more in line with the Salk SC-ST or possibly the HT2...yeah they all use the RAAL but the Soundscapes IIRC source their woofers from AE and the highly acclaimed Accuton ceramics handle mid range duties...from my limited understanding...the AE drivers offer some of the lowest level distortion specs in the industry and why Salk uses them..I believe Seaton may also used them in his speaker designs. Anyhow...this thread has caught my eye and why I'm following it. I do appreciate when fellow enthusiast take the time & effort in doing these sort of evaluations...whatever speakers are eventually added down the road... it should provide for an informative read. Thanks...Craig..
