Anyone listened to LaHave Speakers

This is a speaker that has come on to my radar although I've never heard it. Apparently a very small manufacturer out of Nova Scotia Canada they have been making monitor speakers for 25 years yet seem almost completely unknown to the audiophile community. They have shown at the Montreal Audio Show over the years and most recently at RMAF with their Mela model.

How many of you have heard them and what are your impressions of their presentation? The buzz about these speakers seems under the radar but of the ones that have actually HEARD them there seems to be a concensus that they are quite special in their realistic presentation of music. What is the dope on these speakers? I really am quite curious but info seems quite limited and their website sure doesn't provide much information.

I have the Melas and they are one of the best standmount at any price.
The positioning in the room is very important for the best performance.

Hi Tubegroover: My room measures are 3 x 5.5 metres. The Melas now are plased at 70 cm from the back wall and 45 cm from the side walls. Would be better if the room is wider.
I listen to music 3.5 meters from them. The tweeters looking at me.
The low frequency extension and weight is very good for its size. The passive radiator gives a good body to music.
I have some photos from the web of Melas in others rooms,
if you want write me your email address and I will gladly send them.

Carlos.

Hi Tubegroover. The measures of my room are 3x5.50 metres.
The Melas are 60 cm.to the back wall and 45 cm.to the sides walls. The tweteers always must be looking to the sweet spot.
I listen to music at 3.5 metres aprox.
The low frequency extension is exellent with surprising punch and good detail its size. The passive radiator bass sound is natural and credible.
