Legacy Calibre - big soundstage - what other standmounts offer this?

anybody?

The Boenicke W5 would be one to look at with the caveats that they need a good amount of space and power to fully open up to their full potential.  Another would be the omnidirectional MBL monitors that come with a much higher price tag. 

Having had a pair of active Calibre monitors in my home for a few months, I can confirm what you heard. Very few speakers at that price point do that so well. Pretty sick bass response as well for a speaker of that size. The quality of the veneer work was one of the best I've seen, beating a pair of $44k active speakers I had in another room.

Made in the US keeps costs and unemployment down.

Active Calibre monitors - would love to hear these, never even seen a pair used for sale which speaks volumes!

I think.....by 'active' they mean powered so same passive cross overs with ICE amplification

based on that, I suspect a better amp on the non powered version would be the way to go

“….compact M1 staged enormously large….” Review here 

I was gobsmacked when I heard the M1 at an high-end audio show and it sounded like a full range speaker.  Initially I looked around for subwoofers but then realized there weren’t any.  The sound was fantastic, so was the price at ~$100k.

The new C1 at ~$15k is said to deliver much of the M1 sonics, maybe a sonic bargain.
