Anyone heard the new Daber Audio Monitor 3?


I won my first A-gon auction recently, and it was a pair of the Daber Audio Monitor 3, three way speakers. I had no previous knowledge of Daber Audio or these speakers, but I could do the math in my head and knew I was getting a good deal pricewise, so I took the chance.

I am really impressed with these speakers. Firstly, I'm all about imaging and soundstage, and have been known to sacrifice some bass response in favor of both. The Monitor 3 images like a good two way, has great soundstage and I get bass too! Nice tight bass. They also look fantastic... I opted for the Piano Black finish, and it's gorgeous.

I probably sound like a shill, but actually I'm just an audio geek happy with his latest purchase, and I just wanted to pass it on. You can find me on other audio forums under the same user name to confirm this. Mostly the two most well known headphone sites. I think Daber has some other speaker offerings planned for the near future, and I think they're worth a look. I had been planning on building my own speakers, as I'm a woodworker, but the idea of designing and building crossovers had me pausing.

They share the same tweeter as the Bulldogs, but nothing else really, other than being a three way design. Every review I've read of the Bulldogs really liked the tweeter. What are your thoughts, JKW1?
Thank you for the compliments, and sharing your honest opinions! I really appreciate it.
Agayep, What are your thoughts now that you have been able to spend some time with them?
Sorry to bump an old thread. Finsup, I've had customers use them in everything form small rooms to massive ones. My listening room is 15' w x 19' deep. I have no problems loading that room with pleasing sound. As far as the low end goes, they perform as advertised, and there are several threads where people comment on just how low they play, and how accurately they do it. The planar tweeter really is a great performer, as is the mid, so imaging wise, I can't see them ever being a problem for your average sized room. Sorry about the late reply, I just found this thread.
