The new BG could be very nice; I have heard others similar and there is an appealing sound to them. What's the MSRP?
$35K.
What is the best planar or electrostatic speaker?
Hi All
I just wanted everyone to know that the new Flagship State of the Art BG Radia FS 880 Planar dipole speakers will be arriving soon in my listening room.
My 2 friends who are engineers and speaker builders helped build the prototypes which were the BG Radia LA 800's (in wall design) which were modified as dipoles. The system was tri - amped using the Pass Labs XVR1 Electronic crossover with goldpoint attenuators.
I sold them to make way for the new FS 880 model which looks different than the 800 protos. But does still have a total of 12 Neo 10's mids, 32 Neo 3 tweeters but differs vfrom the protos in that they have 4 woofers per side with the included 1200 watt amps.

For $35K, I'm sure you could cut a deal with your local Magnepan/JL dealer for a pair of Maggie 20.7s and a pair of Gotham G213s. I'm not so sure that the BGs the OP is shilling would be better. Or pair the 20.7s with a pair of JL Fathom F212s for $10K LESS than the BG Radia FS 880s. I think those JLs would still be able to keep up. |
