Jim Salk's Speakers?


I've been a member of this board for as long as I can remember it being around (9 or 10 years) and I've come to value the knowledge and opinions of the posters here more than most of the other audiophile boards. In observing the threads for the past several years there seems to be a is a consistent trend of speakers that get questions or comments.

On a couple of other boards I've read great testimonials of Salk Signature Speakers from owners that have owned many of the brands that get discussed regularly on this board, yet I read nary a word about Salk speakers here. The design construction quality of Salk speakers seems impecable given their price. To me they seem like a great value for the money, but I'd like to get your learned take on these speakers and how they compare within the audiophile market.

FWIW - I have absolutely no affiliation with Salk, just a curious bystander who is considering them for a future purchase.

IMO the Salk speakers that sold for around $6K (I don't know the newest models) are a very good speaker for the money but like mentioned above there are many good speakers in that price range. The SongTowers are just an OK speaker and there are better speakers out there for that price. I found the ones I menion above to be slightly hifi-ish in over sonics with very good details but not my cup of tea for overall musical involvement. That is not to say that they would do it for you. If I also remember correctly that model required big watts to make them come alive.

Happy Listening.
