Should audiophiles be disappointed?...
Thanks guys, I knew I was swimming up stream on this one from the very beginning! Thanks Rives I'll take a look at your site and see if I can't pick-up some tips. 
Anyone Check Out Almarro Products Loudspeakers?...
For $4,900 they seem to be a good deal. You said you jaw dropped twice... can you be more specific? What did you like about the speakers and do they compare to other speakers you've heard in the past?Thanks,DB 
Best speaker between 15K-35K
If you like the transparency and realism of electrostatic speakers, but you are interested in dynamics it's now possible to have your cake and it it too. From everything I've heard from Green Mountain Audio C-3's owners they have Quad/Sound Lab/Ma... 
Are Sub-woofers really for music?
I have a 15" Mirage sub to go along with my Hale T-5's. I've listened to my system with and without the sub and my personal preference is to turn on the sub at a low volume level (around #3). I think it adds a life to the overall presentation. I d... 
Speakers: What's MOST important to you?...
Great answers all! Here is what I was thinking when I asked the question.I realize everyone is different and tastes vary greatly, but if we could boil this frog down to a single word that encompasses the essence of audiophile nirvana I'd have to s... 
Best all around box speaker between 15K and 25K
You can toss in Burmester B99's to the list and Silverline Audio's Grand La Folia. You might as well throw in Sound Lab U-1's while you're at it, possibly even Talon Firebird or Khorus, maybe Cain & Cain Ben ES... the list goes on and on! 
Omnidirectional speakers. The future?
Sean, can you please tell us what you think are the top 5 best speakers on the market today and why you think each speaker on your list is exceptional. This is not meant as a flame, it's just a matter of intrigue. It's obvious you have a lot of kn... 
Europa Owners - What Sub?
If I'm not mistaken Roy's new sub will be passive. 
Gilmore Audio planars revealed
FWIW Abraham Laboriel is the REAL DEAL! His work on Larry Carlton's "Fingerprints" is excellent. If you haven't heard that CD I highly recommend it.These may be great speakers, but they have two huge strikes against them IMO.#1. They are an aesthe... 
Epos ELS 3
12mm side and back HD chipboard and 25mm front baffle. Second order bass driver filter and thrid order tweeter filter at 3kHz crossover. Only 10 lbs.? Hmmmmmmmm 
Best way to integrate a sub into 2 channel system?
I went with choice number 2 and it worked out fine for me. 
von Schweikert VR-4 vs Vandersteen 5A
I've recently spoken to the owner of Green Mountain Audio C-3's and he told me there isn't a speaker under $20K that can touch it. The list of speakers this guy has auditioned is impressive and if I'm not mistaken both the Von Schweikert VR-4 and ... 
Green Mountain Sub??
Having talked to Roy about his speakers on a couple of occasions my guess is that his sub is very fast, articulate and weighty. Pretty much everything you'd want or expect out of a sub.
