| Pittsburgh, PA Audio Club I'd be interested. While I was a member of the component of the month club decades ago, I'm just upgrading my system for the first time in several decades. Anyone interested message me. | |

| Are there any current high end dipole speakers (dynamic)? Thank everyone for replying. Probably no more than $3-5K (but could spend $10k if I thought it was worth it).The Linkwitz Orions page says what has struck me in decades of listening to the Mirage M3s: 1. the speakers disappear and 2. you can walk ... | |
