I have heard Salk speakers with Wells amplification about a year or two ago and was extremely impressed. I cannot remember which model I heard, but I must say that the name has stuck with me ever since as a great unheralded loudspeaker manufacturer.
Salktower opinions
Getting the itch to finally upgrade my old faithful Definitive Technology BP10s in my second system. Bought them new back in1990 just when they came out, their first product launch. I think they still sound decent but you know how it is when the itching starts. In the $2K price range, the Magnepan 1.7i was my first choice until I held up a cardboard cut to size where the speakers go and it proved to be a nonstarter due to the size the requisite back wall distance. While looking at options, and there are lots out there, the Salktower (with the dome tweeter) caught my eye. I like the MTM set up and the specs are real impressive. Anyone heard or better yet has owned these speakers? They’ll be paired with my Vincent SP-331 amplifier so power should not be an issue. Thanks.
P.S. Still considering the option of building a fullrange horn-loaded speaker but not getting much feedback on how they would pair with an amp like Vincent.
