Any experience with Newform Research speakers


There are several planar hybrids on the market now that are available by mail order. I am curious about the Newform Research models. Besides needing all the other good stuff in a new speaker, that is, tight bass,good imaging, wide sounstage, and overall musicality, I need a speaker with a small footprint that will not overwhelm my room. Also, are many of these planars just home theater speakers which are designed to just reproduce "glitzed-up" special sound effects on DVD, and are neither accurate nor musical???? This issue alone could make an interesting discussion thread!!!!

I heard them at the New York show recently. I was very impressed. I owned a pair of B&W Nautilus 802's and was a little discouraged with their performance after a lengthy break-in period. It was the Newforms that had me going until I heard another pair which shall remain nameless. However, the Newforms were great, and I will keep them in mind when I change speakers again and don't have to take asthetics into as much consideration. The wife factor being what it is,and the fact that while they have a small footprint, they are overwhelmingly tall and dominate a room with their appearance. Sound-wise, VERY HARD TO BEAT!!!!
Good luck!
