Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
Shadorne, all the changes will be incorporated in the bass equalizer, an external box, placed between the amp and preamp. It wont affect the speaker design physically. Because it will be placed in the corner, almost, Bob will utilise this fact to ... 
Allison 3 information, please
Ekobesky, I owe you! I found a dealer who had a new pair of Allison Ones and Fours. Bought the Fours. Still compare favorably to modern designs after 30 years - although these are the 2002 re-issues. And they sit plumb against the walls - what cou...

Thank you all for your input. It is most appreciated. I am going with the SP Tech Revelations III, guided by many who have listened to them as well as the other contenders. I am especially indebted to Duke, who despite being a competitor, gave fra... 
Snell AIIIi - Replace or keep?
Mainer8, can you give me the specs, including measurements of the Snells and what your new dimension requirements are. 
Allison 3 information, please
Unfortunately, e-mails are returned and the phone line is disabled. I am afraid they are, indeed, sadly, extinct. If you can reach them, I'd be very grateful to hear of it. I would buy a new Allison in a heartbeat.By the way, I found the specs of ...

Kharma FE 3.2 - be careful, space crucial
4425, Exactly how large is your room? 5,600 cubic ft? 
Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls?
Pavpet, just looked them up - great reviews. Is there anything in their design, Duke, that would make them better for proximity to the walls? They are 8 ohm impedance, which is a plus. I'm sure SP Tech would also sound "great" close to walls - but...

Hey Des, Good suggestion. Crusaders by a mile. Sharks second. Aussies nowhere. Where in NZ?Cheers. 
Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls?
Bjesien, how would getting out to listen to some speakers in a dealer's showroom or a warehouse let me know how they will sound in my room? Are you dyslexic or is my English too poor for you to follow? I guess your profession is a marriage counsel... 
Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls?
Duke, you truly are a gentleman! I say that because you are always so generous and unstinting in your advice, counseling and helpfulness, even when you talk about competitors' products. Would that be 2-3 ft from the front or rear of the Revelation... 
SP Tech Revelation III - how good?
Thank you all - I had read your great review, Teajay - one of the items that prompted me to look into SP Techs. It seems the only remaining issue is whether the Atma-Spheres will allow them to fulfill their potential. All current owners I've spoke... 
SP Tech Revelation III - how good?
I meant Coincident Total Reference. 
Upgrading from Kharma 3.2 to Verity Parsifal
How big is your room? 
Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
I'm impressed with what I've read about SP Tech. I spoke to Bob and he does not feel the location (near the front wall) or size of the room, or the fact that I have a tube OTL amp are impediments. (I know, I know, 8 ohms is better)- but I still ha...
