Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)
Correction, If I recall correctly, they said the 3F and 5F will have a similar resolution and the ones above that are higher resolution. The issue I have with companies like these is that their products become obsolete after a decade or so, wherea...

@t66supraiInteresting observation. I actually called Paradigm and they said they 5F and 7F will have a similar midrange resolution but the 9H will be superior. Of course, I'm sure they want to promote the more expensive models, so your observation...

@gostaThank you for taking the time to make a comparison! I have to say I'm a bit surprised at the outcome, but I have to admit I was a bit biased based on the higher cost of the ATC (I know cost doesn't always correlate to quality though).May I a...

Have you folks that have heard the Paradigm Persona ever heard ATC? If so, any thoughts on comparisons regarding midrange information retrieval/detail?Also, does anyone know if the higher priced Persona models offer higher resolution than the lowe...

@willmaccI've read really good things about Salk as well. Do you know when the Seas Graphene drivers are going to be available? This material sounds really ideal for diaphragms.

@gostaThanks for the suggestion of the Monitor Audio Studio. Interesting that they are so highly detailed and revealing. How do they compare to the ATC midrange as far as detail goes? I ask because this is my point of reference.

@gosta,What kind of amps are you using with the Lipinski? I have read of people using them as mid-field speakers with appropriate amplification. I agree, crossing over at high at 70hz (or even 80hz) seems like a good idea in order to avoid bass fr...

@shadorne I'm not sure which tweeters were in my SCM100 either. They were a late 90s edition (home version), that the previous owner upgraded to SL spec. I don't believe he ever upgraded the tweeters. Thanks for the info on the tweeters. I knew ab...

@shadorne I have read that the new ATC tweeter is a great upgrade. I can certainly see that, as the only real shortcoming I found in my SCM100's were the high frequencies displayed sibilance and they lacked air (rather boxy sounding). This caused ...

@gosta You may also want to check out Accuton driver based speakers. Salk uses them. I've heard fantastic things about them. Supposedly the newer drivers aren't as fragile as the older designs. There is also a driver from Raven that looks interest...

@gosta -The Kii Three wouldn't have the SLP capability I'm looking for unfortunately. From what I've read about the Dutch & Dutch they are a bit shy of the ATCs in mid detail. The big attraction about them is their ability to adjust to rooms. ...

gosta - sounds like you have an awesome selection of speakers. The SCM150s are mammoth!How would you compare the midrange detail on the Lipinski's to the ATC? Do the L-707s have the ability to separate the many layers on congested recordings and r...

Dave and Troy,Lipinski is still in business as far as I know. I like Dynaudio midrange, but I find the ones I've heard don't have the same level of detail the ATC has. I've also read that the Harbeth mids are balanced and natural but dont have ATC...

Has anyone had a chance to hear Lipinski L-707's? They are supposed to be extremely revealing.By the way, regarding comments like "depends on associated equipment":When performing a scientific experiment, as many factors other than the one being s...

dodgealum- Fist off, I appreciate your response. I agree that everyone hears differently, there are different room characteristics, different ideas of what great sound is etc. Ultimately there are many variables and even the environment in which a...
