Best new loudspeaker


I have heard many loudspeakers ,I own Magnapan , and
a Aerial 10-t . This new loudspeaker I heard at great lengths and many agree is from a new company called
NSR -Sonic Research the D-3 Sonata was absolutely killer
and they were saying the wiring and crossover are not even final as of the Jan show . parts quality is excellent in the Silver finish I saw,for a speaker under $5k to create such a soundstage presence with bass that had articulation and impact is beyond me how they do it ,I am told it is a
sealed focal lens .They will be selling by March ,I for sure will be saving my bucks, this is one loudspeaker to watch ,I am already selling my 10-ts.

Audiophile is totally correct Myself and brother were at the show in Vegas for we do custom home theatre installation for a cable company.
My brother has the Von Schweikert vr4jr mk-2 and he now is selling them his.The NSR Loudspeakers are way faster and totally dissapear in the room it was like having a line source with a sub it was that good. I personally am saving for a pair but not until spring.You would be nuts to buy another speaker before spending a few hours with these.A lot of big name companys are not going to rest very well knowing this speaker with either their standard or reference xovers will beat most speakers at $10k that is saying tons.the samples at the show were not even the finished product, In march they are in full production, at the show not one person had anything to say but good things about them including the press,Judge foryourself .
the mid drivers share the same capacitor in parallel
the resistors are a different value which changes it's
position for a specific frequency in the midband.
It is seamless , there are 2 versions of caps the standard are the excellent Auri caps and Caddock resistors.
The Reference Xover which is $700 more and that is not even retail they are practically giving it away for the retail is over $1000 for the parts with your choice of Dueland Copper caps or the Mundorf Silver oil Gold and Dueland resistors, which by the way are in the $28,000 Magico speakers Xover except the resistors, the Magico
uses Mundorfs the Duelands in the D-3 are better!
this reference to the NSR Sonic D-3 Loudspeaker is loaded with good information.
http://www.hifidelityaudio.com that other link don't work.
Look you guys do what you will ,there are 2 capacitors which are their main Xover point .and as far as capacitors
The Mundorfs were the best untill I found out the Hand built Duelunds are better ,if you did a search you will
see this .This is enough on this subject.and as far as the Xover parts their is no better that is a fact do your home work and ask any speaker builder who has worked with them.
anf pjl knows what he is talking about the Duelunds are by far the best cap and Audio fiel you don't have a clue
I doubt u ever made a loudspeaker by hand . and I have already ordered the NSR Sonic D-3 it is the best speaker out there in the $5k class as the upcoming reviews will confirm!
I have had stats and you are partially correct .
The best stat by far for full scale is the Soundlabs A1
one of the best loudspeakers out there but big and not room freindly .Nowadays most living rooms donot want a big loudspeaker that is for a dedicated room .Electrostatic loudspeakers have probably the clearest midrange out there
but there is much less of a sweetspot than a cone loudspeaker,the top end for sure is softer and donot have the dynamic range from soft to loud,also they are not as efficient. These are facts just read from the many reviews.
