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 just met the owner, Jim at his shop and had a chance to listen to an older version that he uses while he builds his speakers. They are the best sounding, neutral speakers I have ever heard, bass, midrange, and treble were accurate, bass was deep and full. I was blown away with the sound. Jim also showed me cabinets that were in various stages of production and I was able to see the attention to detail on the inside of the cabinets, the bracing and the thickness of the walls......no wonder these weigh so much. The wood finish veneers were beautiful with matching grain on each pair. All in all Jim makes incredible pieces just for their looks but the real test is the sound and these speakers are the best I have ever heard. If you are serious about your music you won't be disappointed with a pair of La Have's.
