Anyone get to hear the new Selah 3D RMAF?

I did not have the opportunity to attend the last Rocky Mountain AudioFest, but one speaker that I sure would LOVED to have seen (& heard) is Selah's new 3D speaker system.

I dunno, but for whatever reason the whole ceramic cone mid, ribbon tweet and open baffle design REALLY has me more than a little curious - especially at the givin price point of $5k pr.

Anyone out there get some ear-time with these intriguing looking beauties and can report on what they heard?

Thanks!

I haven't heard the 3D however I have heard a pair of Rick's line arrays in my home and at the price point they were unbeatable. Most likely the 3D's are the same. Rick is on of the good guys of audio for sure.

Best,

Yes, I heard these at RMAF. Admittedly, the exposure to them was limited, and I've not heard any of Rick's other designs, but the sound of these struck me as being exemplary with a high level of linearity (harmonic accuracy), excellent dimensionality to the stage and nicely detailed. At the $5000 price point, some might think it a bit much given its relatively small size (for a floor stander), but I felt it was one of the top sounding 5 or 6 speakers at the show.

If you can get the opportunity, they are definitely worthy of an audition.

Good Luck,

I agree with Dean's assessment. The Selahs were among the best sounding speakers I heard at RMAF, though admittedly I didn't hear very many. But the speakers I did take the time to go hear were ones highly recommended to me by one of my friends who was making the rounds, and the Selahs were among only about a half-dozen or so that made that cut.

In addition to Dean's comments, let me say that I didn't hear them doing anything wrong - which bodes well for long-term enjoyment.

In my opinion, the Selahs 3Ds are quite competitive with some very fine speakers around twice their price.
