I Ordered a Pair of SP Tech Speakers


After much exhausting research, I ended up ordering a pair of SP Technology Timepiece 3.0 speakers a couple of weeks ago. This company flys low under the radar, so I thought I'd post this to help boost the existance of the company. Personally, I have never heard or seen (in person) any of their speakers, but decided to take a huge risk and try them. The reasons? There are many, but I'm interested in the waveguide technology (explained in detail on their site at www.4sptech.com) as well as the fact that they are professional (studio) speakers that are suitable for home stereo use. I own my own home recording studio and I'll use these (on occasion) to audition my mixes on in my living room. As far as the reviews on these speakers, there has never been anything less than fabulous written about them. I've also never seen any for sale used outside of a couple of show demos. That in itself speaks volumes. SP Tech is a small company with the usual large problems condusive of making a superior product, and because of that, there are the usual longwait times and (seemingly) never ending delays. Such is life though when your product isn't mass produced. I'm hoping that once these speakers get into the hands (and ears) of more consumers, that the company will reap the benefits that they deserve. I'm also hoping that the state of the economy doesn't lead to longer production times. If you're looking for a new set of speakers, I highly recommend looking at SP Technology. They are a dedicated group of individuals who sacrifice a lot to make what are arguably the best speakers made today in the eyes of a lucky few. I hope this thread will grow with testaments from those who own SP Tech speakers. Let's see if we can't help them start flying above the radar for a change.

I tried to post this question last night, don't know if it's stuck in the q or censored (didn't think there was anything so bad about the question)....anyway, can someone tell me what these speakers cost and what their nearest well-know competitor might be? I guess I could buy a pair myself sight unseen (unheard) but it would be nice to have some idea of them. THanks.
MrTennis, I agree with you that it would be better if there were 4 or 5 speakers audiophiles agree on and I agree that calling some speaker "the best" is an opinion. I do wonder if we added, "price not a factor" and "room size/waf not a factor" whether there might well be 5 (or 10 for sure) "favorite" speakers. I wouldn't want to list them, but, in another category, given my stipulations, I think a lot of people would grab the Continuum Turntable sight unheard. I know I would.
