Speed kills....


Which is why I love 'stats so much.  For myself, dynamics and leading edge transients are essential.  Are there any alternatives in terms of dynamic "boxey" type (verity?) speakers that I should listen to?  My present speakers are hales t8's (hales has been out of business a long time ago) and they are about as far away from that ideal as you can get.   I want to go in a different direction for my FINAL set of speakers.

Prof: the t8's are slow when I compare them to my stax headphones. Very coherent but slow.  I guess I'm trying to replicate the stax sound but on a larger scale.   that probably  puts me in the planar camp, but space is an issue, otherwise the new maggies would certainly be something I would entertain.  The hales are17 years old and I would like to think speaker design has evolved to the point where there are now options that didn't exist previously. Would  Martin Logan's get me there?  They have a slightly larger footprint than the hales and suffer in the wife agreement dept. Is there anything else out there?

Duke, that was one of the most lucid, informative responses I've read in any forum.

2channel8: I have the Lambda headphones with an SRM-1 (mark2, I believe) amplifier.  I'm trying to replicate that sound but on a larger scale.
