If you are proud and don't think there is much better in your bracket for the money, feel free to name them if you wish.

I like them - they are cheap and fast

 

BTW, I was going to do this poll after the total system price poll wound up, but you saved me the trouble.

[Ralf11]

there was the Best Speaker Under xxx series...

 

most controversy on here is related to digital stuff, with a lot of australio-trolling

[Ralf11]

those look well paced to me (except there might be some glare form the back 'wave' hitting the window glass)

 

they do need to be 3 ft or up to 5 ft from the rear wall - all speakers should be BTW

 

people spend a lot of time moving them bit by bit to tune the sound but I feel they sound good w/o doing that (not saying they won't sound better if you place them very carefully)

 

the ribbons on my 1.5 QRs have lasted 22 years - they sound fine and are for sale.

 

there were some very early models that might have been more sensitive as to ribbon fragility

 

also, they are easy to drive - good current delivery into 4 ohms and yo are set - no complex impedances for the amp to deal with

 

probably not the best for headbanger music tho...

I'm driving mine with a $1,000 amp - maybe they can sound better with another amp (which is the next upgrade...)

[Ralf11]

the retail cost of my speakers is greater than the mode here, yet the retail cost of my entire system is less than the mode...

[Ralf11]

you mean mud-fi

In that case I am glad I don't own a single Hi-Fi component...

 

he is a gutb-like troll (as opposed to the power cord troll on another thread)

[Ralf11]

so did I - very similar modus operandi

 

the power cord troll is different, tho he reminds me of someone else too...
