If you like the ribbon tweeter you should also check out Raw Acoustics located in Langley, B.C., at http://www.rawacoustics.com/. I believe Al has a pair of HT-3s circulating around for demo purposes. If you're handy, you can order some of the speakers as a kit and save a bundle.
Z-7 planar ribbon loudspeaker opinions wanted
http://www.bgcorp.com/productDetail.php?id=3
I'm only interested in 2 channel at this point. I realize that this company has designed a 5.1 system using the "Z" series speakers but I simply don't have the room for a 5.1 system!
And they're in my price range - $1,000.00 US a pair.
I heard these planar ribbon loudspeakers last week (in less than ideal conditions - the room had echo) and was impressed. I wasn't expecting so much clear, accurate bass from a mere 5.25 inch (aluminum cone) shielded driver! The specs say the frequency range is 45Hz - 30kHz but it seemed deeper to me. Smooth highs as you would expect. Very nice!
I hope to hear them again.
Has anyone else ever heard them? Any comments?
Right now I'm using Unity Audio "Fountainhead" speakers so that's my "reference" speaker. With McIntosh tube amps (MX110 / MC240) and listen to pop, rock, vocals (i.e.: Nat King Cole), some jazz, and classical.
Thanks in advance!
