Ridgestreet Audio Designs Sason LTD...perfectly coherent from ~high 30 Hz to the highest treble, deepest, most layered soundstage I've ever heard, image and tonal density beyond reproach, amazingly natural portrayal of detail...an extraordinarly expressive and communicative speaker! It doesn't go real low (2-way with 7" mid/woofer), but what it does, it does better than any other speaker I've heard. Never even missed the bottom 10 Hz. I've got my order in!!
The Avalon Eidolon Diamond with all Spectral components and over $20k of room treatment at Progressive Audio in Columbus, OH was able to soundstage and image almost as well as the Sason's, but tonally it was too lean. Substituting an ARC VT200 added a little weight to the lower midrange, but soundstaging and imaging suffered. It was a tweaked out system in a tweaked out room.
I've heard the MG20.1R's in good setups/rooms that were also very good, but I'd take the RidgeStreet Audio Sason's over anything I've heard in 20 years.
