Salk or Selah or ?


Hi Guys

I am in the process of getting new speakers and would like to hear about your experiences with Salk Sound and Selah.

Living in Denmark I have no way of hearing either before buying so I am in need of help. I know it is a no-no to buy before something hearing it, but I am willing to take a chance as both brands are getting great reviews from costumers.

If you have any other brands I should consider, please let me know. I do not wish to buy Dali, System Audio or other Danish/European brands as part of the joy is to have something that no (or at least very few) danes have. I also believe that the competetion in the US has given you guys some great products to choose from.

Brgds,
Brian

I heard several Salks and Selahs at RMAF, Oct., '06. In fact the several of them had the best-sounding treble I heard at the show, as they all had Fountek or Aurum Cantus ribbon tweeters. My favorite of all of them was the Selah Audio 3D... http://www.selahaudio.com/id134.html .

I'm a sucker for ( = I LOVE) the spacious sounds of dipole speakers, and the 3D has dipole MR. Also, the speaker is gorgeous, at least IMO.

One negative--its low sensitivity of 84dB. In a big room and/or if you often listen at higher levels (say, higher than maybe 95dBA peaks at the listening position), I think you'd need MORE power than indicated by Selah's 50 - 200 Watts of power. But they're 4 Ohms, so about any SS 200WPC amp (except a receiver) will deliver 300 or so into 4 Ohms.

Let us know what you find.
