Have not heard any Charneys, but did listen to two Cube speakers at the AXPONA a few years ago and they sounded fantastic. Looking at the Chareny site and the descriptions of their speakers in this thread, I have no doubt they also sound wonderful. That said, may I suggest you take a look at Omega speakers (I have owned the SAM with 6.5" Alnico driver for 5 yrs now with no desire to change). Rodge827 mentions "
I do own pair of Charney Audio Maestro with the Omega RS7 driver". Omega offers some great single driver speakers (at considerably less cost than either Cube or Charney, if that is an important consideration for you). And Louis Chochos, founder, owner, designer, and builder of all Omega speakers is very willing to chat about his speakers and what you are looking for in a speaker.
Cube Audio or Charney
I have owned full range single driver speakers before. Lowther & Aer based drivers and totally enjoyed them. I miss what they do well so I am looking at purchasing either Cube's 8" or 10" speaker or Charney's 6" or 8" Voxativ speaker. I have not heard either one and probably won't have the opportunity to listen before a purchase. Anyone hear both or either speaker? Any feedback would be helpful.
