Experience with North Creek Speakers

If you've searched North Creek here, you've seen my posts. I think my Eskas (with Lee Taylor boxes) are very fine within their limitations of size and price, and I recommend them. I've auditioned quite a number of speakers in the past two years, most of them a lot more expensive, and my esteem for North has only grown. I bet the new Big Kats are lovely, but they will be hard to audition.

Do you have specific questions, eg, about comparisons or your living space?

Hi Steve. I think the Rhythm is "free field," which means it wants a good bit of space, unlike NC's "near wall specific" designs like the Big Kat. As Tobias says, George is easy to deal with; give him a shout. I think he's located in upstate New York; he might have a customer close to you, as well. I'm guessing cabinet work by Lee Taylor (with custom veneer from Certainly Wood) would add 1000-1500 to the kit price; this would result in stunning visuals.

Just to thicken the mix, a couple of other people who do very musical speakers in the North Creek vein are Rick at Selah and Fritz at Fritz Speakers.

Keep us posted! John

As all of you must know, Norths are hard to audition. (One reason I'm hesitant to go with them when I move from my Eskas). I wonder if people would like to get a home audition list going here? I'm in st. Louis, and would be happy for people to check out my Eskas.
