Speaker Technology over the last 10 years

Rebbi,

That's a great point. Value certainly plays a role. It is quite possible to purchase speakers today at considerable less money than in the past and receive more value for better speakers.

Maybe we could consider what speakers offer the best value at a certain price point.

I'm not convinced that todays speakers provide better value than yesteryears models.

Check out www.belifurari.com these guys have a new driver design that is very different. I would love to hear one!!!

wqit 'till the new magnepan becomes commercially available. let's see how many abandon their cone systems and buy the magnepan.

i understand that the expected price for the new magnepan speaker system, a stand mounted + woofer combination is around $2500.

MrTennis - You are impenetrably dense but I'm going to make yet another effort in the hopes that I can say this clearly enough. I have owned numerous panel speakers including models from Magnepan, Sound Lab and QUAD. I do not own panels today. I know what I am missing and I'm very happy with my horns.

I can tell from the way other people have responded to you and from reading thousands of comments on Audiogon and other sites that I am not alone in this. Please give it a rest.

By the way, if you were to hear a pair of really good conical horns, you would discover that they do things no panel ever will. But its O.K. for you to like what you like. Apparently it's right for you. Just stop the John the Baptist, Johnny Panelseed evangelism.
