Considering Beveridge, your opinion please.

What music do you mostly listen to ?
I am asking, because I feel you should also take the Quad 68 for about the same price into consideration. Less complex and less finicky than the B and with a midrange impossible to beat unless you invest in the big Sound Labs. Haven't heard the others you mention.

MJC,
The Beveridge speakers are amazing but temperamental. Which model are you considering? i have owned a couple of pairs and there are a couple of considerations. The best of the lot are considered to be the 2 and 2sw's. These speakers incorporate a direct drive amp which the speaker sits on. The amps have a problem that the power transformers are at about the end of their service lives. There are a number of individuals looking into this problem currently. My speakers unfortunately suffer from this problem and they are not operational.

The other issue is whether Rick Beveridge is going to start repairing panels again. The last I heard that the possibility still existed for him to commence doing this again. I must caution that I have heard this for about two years now. It would be great if Rick could address where he is at the moment regarding repair of panels.

On the plus side of the equation the speakers are wonderful and image like no others. They are not perfect but what speaker is. The are amazing for Classical and Jazz and give a credible illusion of being in the hall. I have only heard the big Janzen once at an audio society show. I heard the Sanders at the RMAF a couple of years back and thought they were good.

All the best on your quest. Bob

Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here! My bad, you are talking about speakers!!!!!!
