Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ?

Mdhoover,I just looked at the Intuitive Design website.I'm not saying your wrong .How could you not believe such a spiel?Very compelling stuff and obviously great science involved[cryogenics even]Almost as good science as Intelligent Design.

Small speakers should not sound big.Trying to make them sound big gives them a fake sounding bass which detracts from their potential for purity of sound.[More excursion equals worse midrange]You are best off with a small speaker that only goes to about 60 hz and then using a subwoofer.

Mdhoover,great review.Are the mid/woofers in these the Scanspeak 7 inch?Friends used these in Proac 2.5 copies.
If so I can imagine the sound.They do produce a very full sounding bass and a smooth and rich sounding midrange with good imaging.Proac stopped making these when lots of people started copying them and selling them for much less money.
I know other guys using them purely as woofers.
I am more into valves and efficient fast dynamic sounding speakers so these sound a bit slow and smeared to me,but can understand their appeal as a great allround sound.

Mdhoover,fair enough,you have convinced me these Intuitive Design speakers must be something special.I don't know if I will ever get to hear a pair in Australia though[imagine the shipping costs].
As far as speed and smoothness goes I tend to agree that the two rarely come together.I have Edgar midrange horns amongst other speakers and these are one of the very few exceptions that I have heard.People claim stats are fast but I'm yet to really hear it.
