is $1700 the kit price? I see the listed on Salk Audio as being about a grand more.

I'm not sure that it's going to be much less once one adds the cabinets.Kit price is much less… meniscus audio:
Definitely not if you buy the flat packs from Leland’s company. If you buy a sheet of MDF and don’t charge yourself for labor, already have the tools, the cabinets cost you the amount of materials you throw at them.I'm not sure that it's going to be much less once one adds the cabinets.
Custom finishes. Beautiful cabinets.Ah, thanks all. Somewhere down the line I mistakenly had the idea that Philharmonic had stopped production and the speakers were only available in kit form or through Salk.
Which begs the question as to why somebody would pay more for the Salk produced speaker?
The cabinets on some of the Salks are truly beautiful and can be customized. If you look at your speakers as furniture I could easily justify an extra $1k for themAh, thanks all.

i am fully convinced that the bmr is one of the finest sounding speakers out there .. and imo *the* best price / performance ratio in the biz... the speaker really was dominant at the show within the speakers i heard.. it sounded bigger and clearer than everything else.. the r3 was very good, so you can guess my opinion of the bmr ...and they are *beautiful* in person.. pure class...You can purchase the BMR monitor for $1700 plus shipping fully finished and ready to use.

pure awesomeness ... Salk & Murphy .. what a team...Custom finishes. Beautiful cabinets.
He'll even do a front slot port if you ask.
It all depends on where your values are.
While I was ordering through Dennis in 2018, Salk had a couple sets of BMR and Phil 3 going through his shop so all would be matching finish. Believe me, If I had the coin, I'd love to have all my speakers look like this:
You disagree with this?Disagree.
I don't know about you, but I listen to my system in my recliners. It's not a really valid test to judge the sound quality of my system as you're wandering about the room or at the computer in the back. It's just not set up that way or sized for that.
So if the folks putting in their votes were all seated as you would normally be and the speakers were set up with that in mind, then I'm ok with that. I'd prefer to not have a sighted bias in play, especially given the large disparity in the beauty of speakers, but there's nothing we can do about that now.

I'm not sure that people are buying it based on the preference score, but you're right, the BMR is a much bigger and badder speaker and I would be surprised if it lost that contest.What cracks me up is when Revel has a sale on the M105 for $1100 a pair, people get all excited to buy it based on it's preference score.
Nothing wrong with that...The BMR would be a top choice if I had a wider and larger room that would benefit. As it stands I'm sticking with controlled directivity in my more confined space.
