Most detailed speakers in 1K range?

Read SoundStage! current issue testing norwex B-2 Nisse on their web site: www.soundstage.com. Click on Audio. Also visit our web site: http://norwex.homepage.com. These are $995 a pair new in black or white lacquer; $100 more in red oak, walnut or mahogany real wood veneer. Are these the easiest High-End speakers to live with?

...yes i read the review, and ACI Sapphire "blew" them away in a/b test. Also, Epos 12...should be taken in consideration, probably THE most detailed in it's price range.

Well, Eldragon, I guess it is how you read a review, when you say ACI Sapphire "blew them away". True, Mr. Potis preferred his reference Sapphire speaker to norwex B-2 Nisse in some areas, but he also said:"Treble performance from the B-2 was very good and a touch sweeter and smoother than ...Sapphire." And later he again comments about the treble performance compared to the Sapphire this way:"With the Sapphire III...the vocal sibilants were harder and more irritating." Personally I get very quickly tired when I hear too much treble energy. But, it is probably just a matter of personal taste. Also keep in mind that the B-2 Nisse was specifically designed to be placed close to a wall (bookshelf, wall unit, wall brackets, floor stands placed close to the front wall). Try that with Sapphire for comparison. Harald Aasland

Yes, that is correct, however i believe "high-end" entusiasts and so called "audiophiles" are "strange" kind. They don't trust the new and untested, and especially if "loudly" advertised. I honestly don't doubt, that your speakers are very good product, and i have to admit, that i was surprised how your speaker "performed" (according to review in SoundStage) but "bookshelf" or "wall-bracket" speakers, in the minds of audio entusiast, aren't exactly the "synonym" for "high-end" product. I don't think it is taken seriously. YET! However, i wish you luck!

How about Linn Tukans? Extremely accurate, and reasonably priced at $850.
