Hi Jack,

Eventhough the demo last time wasn't great, I could recognize something wonderful going on. I promise to investigate further.

You might even like my Vandie model and it would save you a boatload of money if you don't want or need the powered built in subs from the 5A Carbons. You can buy the Treo CT with the 5A Carbon tweeter for about a fourth of the 5A Carbons, They will go down to 29hz as opposed to the sub 20hz of the 5A's. The style and footprint is very similar. If you haven't, you need to read JA and Doug Blackburn's review of the Treo's and Anthony Cordesman"s review of the 5A.

I do have to say that I miss my studio2 more than my TADs. The D3 are amazing speakers and I admit that I can't get enough of that 3D holographic effect. It's just incredible. I'm just afraid that the high frequencies might be a little sharp for my taste.

How about Avalons? I've never heard anything more holographic 3D and they don't have any sharp highs...
 
That's one brand that I've admired from afar. I'll have to see if there are any local dealers. I've always seen them paired with Jeff Rowland and not much else. I loved early JR gear but haven't heard the new stuff.

Bob,

My room is L-shaped. It's essentially 14x15 with a 7x9 add-on. That gives me a 21' wall on the long side but can't use 5-6 feet of it. Room volume is actually pretty good and I don't seem to have any room issues, at least nothing obvious.

I've always read/heard from owners that the Dyn Sapphires are more forward that the other Dyn speakers. I just got rid of forward, so I am afraid I am probably not interested although I do love the other Dyn speakers and those look stunning.
 
Oooooh. Mid hall maestro's 20.7's & Strads, although I will say if you don't intend to sweet spot all the time & do a lot of listening off axis, Strads win. Then again, Wilson Benesch kicks ass........
 
Just get a pair of Westminster's and never look back. Maybe forward too cause they are so damn big, or is that big and beautiful.

I did. I'd love to hear them but too few and too expensive (maybe :))
