Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver?
I don't have a problem finding good woofers tweets and ribbons. Seems i've encountered a problem in finding a "good" ("best") midrange, THE critical fq's. Most orchestral and jazz instruments fall in the midrange. As well i'm looking for a midrang... 
Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century?
Twl, with any driver there are + and - I'm sure the Fostex are nice. Like Bishop says a single point driver will not perform in the lower hz's like a Seas or Skaaning, and will not perform in the upper 's like a great tweeter or ribbon. And for mi... 
Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century?
Since 90% of classical (and others) music is in the midrange. And since ATC makes the best midrange. Then the 21st midrange is the ATC's. In woofers the winners are the Seas and Skaaning. There are many very good dome tweets out there. The Hiqulap... 
What's the best mid-range driver available?
so they make the best mid, but do they do as well with the woofer and tweet or do they have someone else. Now i would have doubts that they can do all 3 drivers world class. If the thread said best tweets, then which would show up? Lets not bring ...

One more contender for "best" mid. Accuton 2 and 3 inch dome, probably 2nd to the ATC

LAZ which ATC speakers do you have ..the SCM 50's 100's or the 150's. The ATC active speaker may..no IS the best commercial speaker in the world. No doubt in my mind. However you did mention like 15K. That leaves me out. However i'm trying to find...

Laz I just got word from a DIYer in Denmark. I asked him what's his drivers. Says he started with the best mid , the ATC..so looks like your right. Says they are expensive. As well he had Skaaning build him a woofer to certain specs. For tweet i t...

I've heard that San Antonio is a beautiful town. I've always wanted to go there. BTW i've got word that the Seas W12CY midrange will outperform the legendary Skaaning's. This is from a reliable source. As well you may want to know that the super t...

Your point is valid. The local audio club heard a $70K system and most walked away dissapointed at the sound, speakers especially. I agree there are speakers out there at $15 to $50K that are worth all those Washingtons. Now as for your amp driven... 
Mosfet amps A true compromise betw. tubes and SS?
Hey Zaikes, very good..no great answer. You've answered my question from your many years of experience. I'm for tubes all the way. I own a "100" watt ss Rotel amp which i can not listen to for more than ..oh like say 10...no 5 minutes and then fat... 
Mosfet amps A true compromise betw. tubes and SS?
Isee now that the Brinkman offers a optional onboard DAC. So its not a hybrid. It's like a amp-dac??? But i do like the fact they don't try to hide anything. The unit comes with a glass top!! Thats cool. 
What's the best mid-range driver available?
I don't think you follow me. Why should i invest in a superior amp and then have the output channeled into a speaker amp??? You are sending the music through too many pathways... superior amp + superior digital + superior drivers + superior xover ... 
ECM1, Audio Aero Capitole, or Sim Audio Eclispe?
Smj refer to my thread comparing the AA AM ECM, Bwhite does a review like no "professional" reviewer can do. He simply outdoes every mag review. Bwhite gives you a feel for these top players that the "hi-fi" mags DO NOT. Granted the mag critics do...

Lazarus There is no commercial speaker worth 15 for me. With 15 i could get a superior speaker kit (Skaaning + Raven 3) + superior amp + superior digital (superior = "not your everyday run-of-the-mill stuff") for under 15. Now its true there are 1...
