I agree with Jim: I was going to review the Mangers for Ultra Audio, but they arrived damaged. Nonetheless, I set them up to see if they played. They were freaking DAZZLING....I could hear into the soundstage in a way that the Genesis 6.1s that I reviewed for Ultra Audio didn't even come close to, although the Genesis had deeper bass. My brother, who knows nothing about audiophiledom, said that this was the first speaker that sounded like there was actually a person playing music live.....and this was with a little Arcam A65+ integrated. I kid you not: it reminded me of when I was the Equipment Manger for Fi Magazine, and I went to Larry Kay's house and heard his Grand Slamms with a Rockport turntable and Jadis Electronics: you could actually "see" the instruments instead of looking at the "outlines" of the imaging. And I was only using a JVC XL Z-1010TN. I have lusted after a pair of them ever since I had to send them back....
Anyone familiar with the Manger driver?
Sounds like a new and innovative approach to a speaker design. The big question is, HOW DOES IT SOUND? Some interesting stuff on their website MANGER, but I'm curious to know the impressions of people who have actually heard one...I didn't make it to the CES this year.
