marantz pm8006 vs peahtree nova 150.
Been teetering between these two for a new pair of Dali oberons that are on order.  Anyone else care to way in? 
Dali Specktor Review / Wharfedale Shootout
@erik_squiresBloody hell...  Apologies Erik.  I just skimmed through your link real quick last night.  Didn't realize the $1k was for a custom built cabinet assembled and finished.  I drunkenly stumbled through it and assumed that it was the DIY b... 
Dali Specktor Review / Wharfedale Shootout
@erik_squires The link you posted claims $1,000 to build the cabinet.  I could build it out of solid Cocobolo for $500.  What gives? 
Dali Specktor Review / Wharfedale Shootout
@audiotroy I am in New Jersey.  I would to check out you’re spot.  Where abouts? 
Kef R series or Tannoy Revolution Series?
I stand corrected.  In reading the review Audiotroy posted the Newer Q series (50's) have a proper 2:1 ratio for the radiators, which now both occupy the same chamber as the woofer.  Much better.    
Kef R series or Tannoy Revolution Series?
Side note / Rant: Why are you considering the Q series? I always thought they were a terrible design.     Correct me if I’m wrong… But when you’re using passive radiators, the radiator is recommended to be twice the surface area of the active ... 
Kef R series or Tannoy Revolution Series?
I have been going back and forth between KEF and Tannoy too. I am leaning towards the Tannoy XT6F’s or XT8F’s because I have heard so many good things about them. Reviews say that they have incredible imaging, lots of bass, and a very lively sou... 
Has anyone heard the Tannoy XT8Fs?
Mid range was more refined on the 6’s too?  Obviously the highs were still edgy and crispyz

@erik_squires What is your current system? 
Dali Specktor Review / Wharfedale Shootout
It might be the low level capabilities that make them work for me.  I have them on my desk on either side of my computer, so they are very close to me.  Carpeted 12x12 room.  Very primitive setup.  I can’t imagine they would sound nearly as full o... 
Has anyone heard the Tannoy XT8Fs?
Thanks for the response, much appreciated.  I am pretty convinced that these Tannoys are the next step for me.  I currently have a pair of Wharfedale Reva 4s that I am not thrilled with.  Now I just have to figure out how to get a listen to them. ... 
Has anyone heard the Tannoy XT8Fs?
I have heard from a few online reviews that the highs could be a little more refined or detailed.  Can you eleborate on that?  They image very well I am told, but are they transparent?  Delicate up top?  From what I am reading it almost sounds lik... 
Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design?
Are the drivers in the KEF Moon and Blade that much different from ones used in the Q series, R series and LS50s?  They all seem to be made with precision control.  Is it just the crossover components and cabinets that are upgraded?   
Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design?
Timlub,So in theory, Andrew Jones could be responsible for all of the coaxial designs at ELAC, KEF AND TAD...?  Thoughts? 
Wharfedale - Reva/Diamond
Bm7b5,Yes I did!  Letting them go now actually and in the market for either KEF R500 or Tannoy XT6F.  Possibly even ELAC.The Wharfedale Reva 4s are a great sounding speaker.  They were an excellent step up from the Wharfedale Diamond 10.7s and the...
