Master List of New Speakers

New SVS subs
More power, more power. ;)

My friends here looking to step into the SOTA TOTL speakers better start working some more overtime.
I was a bit staggered by the Jan 2026 The Absolute Sound issue when they reviewed the AlsyVox Michelangelo full range ribbon.
Then they also named it the Overall Product Of The Year. You can take one of these beauties home for only $555,805.00
Not sure if that includes shipping, setup, or let alone Taxes
Robert Harley says "This is next-level hi-fi. People haven't heard this before". :facepalm:

Hold the presses! I just about missed the Industry News article by Andrew Quint in the same issue as above.
There is a introduction to the new Zellaton TOTL Statement Ultra. This sucker is 71" tall, weights 739lbs a side.
And costs a miserly $739,000.00, again not sure if that includes shipping, setup, or let alone Taxes. :p

How can they dare to present them driven via lamp cord :facepalm:
 
In any case, I don't like the centre channel. Unless they cross it at 1 kHz or something, in which case it might be passable.

Crossover frequency is 1.8khz, so there will be some lobing going in:

EDIT: BTW the driver material is given as "deep ceramic composite". Seems like @Tovarich007 is right and there is some technology transfer from Revel to Arcam... Interesting!

Quite depending on the width of the listener area.
For 1 or 2 centered listeners it may be just fine.
 
New cardioid 3-way- monitors at a very attractive price:


I hope someone sends it to Amir for measurements.....

A new series from Arendal was announced recently, the 1610. Seems to be marketed as the next best after 1528

Few reviewers have already reviewed and measured some of them:

Don't know if this is helpful, or not: Eric's Audio Corner has a video review of Klipsch The Sevens that he hasn't published in written format. That may be why it is not attached to the list.
