I am not sure what is going on. PE doesn't have the Fountek ribbons anymore, but list the remarkably similar GRS.

Is that the Fountek ribbon or GRS?

Excellent job. I know they aren't out yet, but it is always interesting to see new speakers with great measurements. Were the new Epique drivers considered? https://www.parts-express.com/Epique-E150HE-44-5-1-2-DVC-MMAG-Subwoofer-4-Ohm-per-Coil-295-102?quantity=1

It should be remembered that Amir had the issue with measuring a set of speakers a couple of years ago that differed from the manufacturer. It ended up being the environment was to cold.

They are coming out with a new HT tower. Search on Dennis's posts and you will find info about it.

I am curious why Ascend went with the 6" driver instead of a smaller driver for the midrange. Seas has smaller drivers in that lineup. I am not criticizing the decision. Just curious. My old PSB Stratus Golds used a 6" for a mid.

I wonder if the new GMS ribbons might have been an alternative. Not sure if there are any differences between them and the old Founteks.

Dennis, Did Tectonic improve this new BMR? It is a lot more expensive, so I hope they did something to justify it.

Someone seriously reported that post?

Probably because most of their customers prefer passive.

He works for the thescreeningroom.com. You could also put in a call to Amir's company Madrona.

Maybe, but how many rich people really care that much about audio to research and spend lots of money on audio equipment? The fact is some people like nice looking products that have an excellent fit and finish. I have seen SL products and they look nice. Are they worth the money? That is a...

That doesn't really clarify the relationship. IIRC at Cedia a couple of years ago, they said it was Lyngdorf using the Steinway name.

Isn't Steinway the piano maker different from Lyngdorf?

No I mean a speaker that has wide dispersion like Philhamonic BMR vs something narrow like a horn.

I am not sure if it has been answered or not. I would think a narrower directivity as opposed to an ultra wide would be better.

I won't quote the posts, but I had to respond to LA skepticism in home environments. I see Wesayso has already posted. For the person who mentioned Linkwitz, @fluid chose a LA over his Linkwitz speakers. From what I have seen, heard and read, the best LAs are floor to ceiling (or close to it)...

Wolf, Did you get a chance to see the new GRS ribbon tweeters? Yes, but in the video with Erin IIRC he said something different.

I believe Toole has said there is no definitive answer on wide vs narrow dispersion. It has been discussed but never really delved into as far as I have seen. I know Dennis Murphy has talked about it and his preference. Before Erin, I think this was the most I had seen people really look at it...
