RE: Charney speakers
Horning Hybrid, which can also be heard in NYC, also comes with Lowther. I believe also the DX65. It "cheats" with a tweeter and shared sort of T-line back loaded horn thing shared by midrange and bass drivers. It was pretty dynamic and immediate and the drivers seemed well integrated. Too bad I did not spend more time with the Eufrodite. The big, 102db sensitive one would be the one to hear, though, for orchestral recordings. Thanks for the Charney mention. I run in to the Alerion design, but dumbly didn't know a company that made it.
They both have their problems, but the best I know, as have been mentioned are Avantgarde Duo Mezzos and Soundlabs, U1 or Majestics. I'm too poor to be picky, but its hard to be enthusiastic lifestyle speakers that predominate the market. I only wish horning hybrid (or anyone)made something bigger, more sensitive in my price range.
