Anyone heard Jamo R909 dipole speakers?

Kr4, Thanks for the link. As for the B&Ws and SFs, I heard them at the dealer in an acoustically treated controlled audio room with Mcintosh gear (McD500, C50, MC601s). My JBLs are in a slightly smaller room. I am sure there may be many factors playing in such as room size, the source and the pre-amp, but I would have expected to hear significant improvement going from a $1,000 speaker to a $24,000 speaker. I do hear such an improvement though when I listen to my friend's DYI dipole speakers.

Kr4, I just realized that you are the same KR reviewer for Stereophile. I have to say that I have read many of your articles and have enjoyed them.

First, I will tell you the I don't mean to bash either B&W or SF, these are great loudspeakers. I am sure that my novice untrained ear is not able to pick up the purities within the mids and highs that these loudspeakers are praised for. I guess I might have missed them since I auditioned the above-mentioned speakers specifically looking for what I was missing in my own system, which I was able to appreciate with the open baffle design. The material that I asked these loudspeakers to reproduce was a hard one. I am talking about the 1st track of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Beethoven's Last Night album. I think there are so many things going on within the 100-250Hz region that it would be really hard for any loudspeakers to separate and reproduce accurately. And that is the region that I had problem with. I have to say that otherwise both B&Ws and SFs were fabulous.

Now going back to the Jamo R909. I am sure these are probably not the most accurate speakers out there. However, I suspect they will be able to satisfy my preferences within the bass region. As an overall package, do you think these speakers worth around 12K a pair?
