Best amplifiers in your price range on the quads in my experience.The Quad Mono'sVTL Mono 125and still my favoriteYBA Passion Integre', is the perfect amp for the Quads. 
Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
Nope; You got it in the right order, Focal Be in between the 7000 and the Millenium. I looked for the quote but I know it was overly harsh on the Millenium but it could have been a grammar thing.I'll post some pictures of My Accuton/2904/7000 Syst... 
Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
Focus Audio 788!!! Ack....thats the best you can do? That speaker has ridden the hype more than the Caravelles. Son of Flubbers Cremoras? Credibility gone especially after saying the seas millenium tweeters are junk versus the Focal Be's . Gendut ...

Thanks for your responses,Like I said early people get to shape the club, those are just some ideas above. Two channel guys can come every week in my mind because the discussion will be oriented from the perspective of two channel systems.Eventual...

How to get multichannel sound from a CD?
Best way to do it;Trifield from a Meridian processor.Dolby Prologic II depending on the pre/pro receiver is also very effective, just a little too live in the rears to be absolutely convincing. The music playback capacity of a prepro is the best w... 
Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
The drivers are good, and the key to this speaker is the not so modest cabinet. I guess we want to overlook the considerable expense in that.The box has nearly 8 times the radiating surface of the largest driver even in a small speaker like the Ca...

Proac 2.5's-something not quite right- ideas?
(5)I believe that the size of your room is a factor."The response 2.5 is not a flat power or amplitude response speaker and the minimal crossover makes the 2.5 subject to a highly variable playback by not addressing the break up mode of the Carbon...

No, sitting around has not hurt them.The response 2.5 is not a flat power or amplitude response speaker and the minimal crossover makes the 2.5 subject to a highly variable playback by not addressing the break up mode of the Carbon Fibre woofer as... 
Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?
4 Alternatives to Caravelles, these speakers are not "better" but are subjective alternatives to the Caravelles. Funny how many of these speakers will be difficult to find to audition too.ATC SCM-20 -2, will play louder with more precision and foc...
