We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors



I just have to point out that I am one of the first recipients of the new Model SPTECH Mini speakers. To call these 40 pound each beautiful finished loudspeakers Minis is an OxyMoron. They actually cross over at 800hz so most pf the midrange is handled by one driver! But I have to tell you that after only 5 hours of use, these speakers can beat just about anything on the market today. In some ways, there really isn't anything that at much much higher prices can sound as good as the trade offs begin piling up. I exposed them to some ungodly power barrage usinga 1000wpc amplifier and they did not even blink. The sound coming out are what I call the epitome of a speaker design in that they sound both life like and musical at the same time. This is no small feat. Instruments are so well defined that the umpteen speakers I have owned can't hold a candle to them. Bob the designer and engineer is a terrific guy and very knowledgeable. These speakers destroy anything in their range and most audiophiles would be well served to try and listen to these or anything in the line above the Minis I assume. I just had to pass this on, because I am one of the lucky owners. I want to point out that I have zero affiliation with SP, but am in love wit this product. I believe you can buy them on Audiogon? They are worth several times the current asking price. Don't take my word, try and hear for yourself! There is several review on the net and what I had noticed is that none of them had anything negative to say about this line.

Can we say "HYPE" here? These might be the "greatest speakers in the world", but let time tell. Amytime, someone comes around and pretty much says "these are the greatest", my BS meter goes off. I can't wait to see how fast these speakers hit the "for sale" in Audiogon. I'm guessing it won't be all that long. Are these "keepers" or this month "favorites"? Hype would say it fall into the this months "favorites".
Bbchem,

Give us a review on these speakers about six months down the road. Hate to say it, but youra and Doubleugly reviews of these speakers comes across to much like hype. Makes one wonder if y'all have some connection with the manufacter? These speakers MAY be great speakers or they may end up being "a flavor of the month" or at best "a cult favorite". Only time will tell.
Glad to get your input, Bob. But I'm didn't suggest (or certainly didn't mean to suggest) that SP Tech's products are hype (remember I said that "These speakers MAY be great speakers") only that IMHO Bbchem and Doubleugly's reviews of the speakers came across as hype. Certainly would like to hear these speakers as some point in time, and I certainly would like to hear what Bbchem and Doubleugly thinks of them about six months "down the road" after the "honeymoon" period as worn off. To me, a review of some speakers after someone as had it awhile, certainly would be a more accurate and realistic review of the speakers. Would you not agree?
