I listened to the Tuonare speaker last weekend.
Huge soundstage, large, stable sweet spot, and fabulous bass that was so good I had to ask if the subwoofer was on- No. Somewhat mid to rear hall presentation,but I don't think the recording I demoed with was close miked, either. Driven by Mcintosh solid state components. Midrange was good, but not quite as palpable and lifelike as the B&W 804Ds in the next room: maybe tubes in the mix would have helped. The Vapor Raal tweeter competed well against the B&W Diamond version.
Many positive attributes for the Vapor speaker in a limited audition.
