What speaker do you passionately want to demo?

There are more prodigious concerns in the works, but here's a little aside just for the fun of it. 

I wanted to hear the 3" soft dome midrange sound in my room again - so I bought one, well, actually a pair. I had reviewed the reasonable Wharfedale Opus 2 M2 Bookshelf Speakers for Dagogo.com a while back. That soft 3" mid was SO beguiling, I almost bought them. I have thought a lot about that midrange performance over the years. Every so often I look to see... 

YES! Pair for sale here, GONE! To me! My condolences to the two "watchers"; I came, I saw, I bought...     :) 

This will not rock my world, but it will be fun! I envision doing up a rig with DAC direct using Schroeder Method of IC Placement to Legacy Audio i.V4 Ultra Amp, and doubling speaker cables to the M2. I consider the 3" soft dome among the most desirable attributes of the PMC and ATC lines. So, Im going after it on the cheap, as a side joyride. I will put them with the Legacy XTREME XD Subs. Good fun. I want to see how far I can take the 3" mid in comparison to others. I never got to fully realize its potential back then, so I'm having another run at it.  :) 

This thread is about what OTHERS want to hear, not what you think is wrong with their selections and preference for your speakers. 

Got my demo! The used Wharfedale Opus 2-M2 Bookshelf (big bookshelf speakers!) arrived, and I have them running in my room. I thought I would beef up the low end of the 8" woofer a tad bit by running the sub section of the Aspen Acoustics Lagrange L1 preproduction version with them! Splendid! Very pleased to now have this additional flavor in the mix. The 3" soft dome mid will be fun tow work with in various systems. I consider it a successful whim/flight of fancy.

What’s terrific about the 2-M2 is that they are bi-wirable. I am running four channels of the i.V4 Ultra Amp on them currently. Very nice. Next test will be to change the cable config to Schroeder Method of IC Placement going to two channels and bi-wiring. That will give a different flavor. My coup de grace may be four channels with doubled up bi-wired Iconoclast speaker cables. Imagine, 8 speaker cables running to two bookshelf speakers! I know this would juice their performance substantially. I did similar with the King Sound King Tower omni, and it was great! Doubling the speaker cable conductor is a sure fire way to enhance. Thankfully, these are beefy bookshelf speakers, otherwise the sheer weight of the cables could pull pissy little monitors off the stands!

I am glad to have the 2-M2 back in the room. It’s a sizable enough bookshelf to make it worth having. The sound is reminiscent of ATC or PMC - of course at a fraction of the cost. That was my goal, to get the 3" dome mid for kicks. Since they run from 700Hz-3kHz I will be able to assess the advantage of their not having a crossover in the mid region.
Good fun. They are pretty ugly performers for contemporary, poor recordings, as they get messy with compressed music at higher levels, but they sound quite nice with vocals and quieter instrumentals. Once the double biwire is in, though, that could improve markedly. It will be fun to compare them to the refurbished Ohm Walsh Model F.

Over the years there have been dozens of speakers I have seen in Asia, Europe, Australia, Hong Kong etc, that I would love to hear. But I’m not spending my own money to do so. No point in it if they're not imported and generally available.
