haha! I do! But I've already ordered new efficient speakers to try.

Well....Only reason I don't recommend the West for you is I do NOT want to share the glorious sound with anybody else well....second thought I wouldn't mind with my captain.

When you come to Toronto this summer let you try mine ;)

I don't know Mike. I bought the Spatial Statements already and they might work really well in my room, being open baffle and all. If those don't work out, I will likely return to Strads - which I should NEVER have sold. They worked beautifully in my crappy room and started a cult like following here in our audiophile group.

The Alexia's are outstanding speakers....but I have a bass problem with my room - plain and simple. I had the same problem with the Raidho's and others too. Finding speakers that work in my room is a bugger.

Oh, that is sad to hear, Mike. Sorry they didn't work out for you. :(

That is strange about the Strads. 2500 hours of break in? Sounds like something must have been damaged after the long party....that's my guess.

Maggies sounded fine in my room, but they don't have the focus I like. That being said, I enjoyed my Maggie journey - MMG, 1.6, 1.7, 3.6, 3.7. My biggest beef was that they needed a lot of power, but couldn't play loud.

Nothing damaged with the Strads,they can play loud no problems. Just took a long time for the twin 11inch bass drivers to fully break in, party last 10% I guess. Strads working fine in someone elses system now.

Anyway, keep us updated on the new speakers.
 
curious Mike, did you ever try helmholtz resonators tuned to 73hz?

if you really loved the Sonus Fabers, just buy them and be done.
 
No Keith, but I did try the Spatial Black Hole and it works as described. I have new speakers coming next month. I will wait to hear those before deciding on the Strads.
