Popular Post Madra Posted August 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2018 here are Three brands worth checking out. Tidal I listened to a now discontinued 2 way stand mount with diamond tweeters and Ceramic mid-woofers. It was their smallest and cheapest loudspeaker, and a totally unknown company to me at the time. While not as full range as the CR1 (auditioned at the same show BTW) they blew my mind. This was a sound I can live with for a long long time. They were impeccably finished, and the design elegance of the current models is icing on the cake. YG Acoustics They seem to be gaining momentum at shows lately. I listened to the Carmel, and their reference model of few years back, and believe they are worth investigating. Being chunks of black aluminum, looks are polarizing. Avantgarde Acoustics I listened lately to the Duo Mezzo driven by their own amplification and a DCS Vivaldi dac. During my brief listen, I heard no horn colorations, driver discontinuities, and heard all the dynamics horns are known for. Looks are again polarizing. I find them to be beautiful modern sculptures. The CR1 are great speakers, and a tough act to match, let alone to better. Good luck with your search. I will be closely watching this space. bunno77 and The Computer Audiophile 1 1 Link to comment
