We would just like to add that we are just two "old guys" in this hobby who are attempting to share our love of music and sound who graciously invite anyone to make an appointment for an honest listen to music of your choosing on our system. It may or may not be for you. We, however, have built what we find to be the Holy Grail of sound reproduction. It took a long time and wasn't easy. You can PM me through the 'gon if you would like more information.
Surreal Speakers: Made to order in Virginia, USA
My wife and I have just returned from a listening session at Surreal's auditioning room in White Stone, VA, and we have been super-impressed with these speakers and the marvelous musical experience they create! I'm convinced that the newest version of the Surreal Speakers out-perform speakers at twice their price.
Over the past three years, I've watched Surreal evolve these speakers. Today's listening session convinces me that the designers have really achieved the promise that these speakers have suggested since day one. These speakers integrate seamlessly across the frequency spectrum, deliver exceptional dynamics and resolution, and deliver superb results with tube amplification of as little as 30 watts per channel.
The speakers operate with a single cross-over at 135hz. The sound above this crossover comes from a single driver per side for exceptional coherence and soundstage precision. Crossing over below 135hz are six dynamic 10" woofers per side in a dipole array for incredibly fast, dynamic and highly resolved bass reproduction. This woofer cabinet is fast enough and accurate enough to mate seamlessly with electrostatic speakers. With the dynamic drivers used by Surreal on the top, the sound of the entire speaker is completely coherent.
If you are anywhere near Virginia, scheduling an audition of these speakers will reward your effort in doing so.
