Why not send a pair in for Amir to test on the NFS?

Erin has tested both the first and current versions, and Audioholics has tested V1. And now we have the Stereophile measurements.

Like a full Powercube voltage chart with little fluctuation at 4 and 2 Ohm.Since we're being data driven and all, how would you define "deliver the goods"?
You don't have to envy. I ordered a pair to Poland a few weeks ago and the process was smooth and suprisingly not that expensive. That was before the tariffs, though.
Have been a fan of Dennis’s efforts for decades and this Stereophile review only reinforces my view.
As for load impedance, this speaker is relatively more challenging. The measurements show this so no denying fact. Most amps may be fine but are going to have to deliver more power than for a less demanding speaker. Would not stop me from buying them.

Hypex nc252mp ($600) is just fine. Doesn't need to be a monster.

I see only the more squared box is in stock on the site. Those with the above box are out of stock correct? Where's the auction?!While we are working on the tariff situation, our existing stocks are running super low. This is a BMR specially made for someone that we "might" consider put up for a charity auction.

That's all we have left before August, which could be impacted by the tariff. The "special someone" is too busy to pick up the speakers.I see only the more squared box is in stock on the site. Those with the above box are out of stock correct? Where's the auction?!

don't stress out about it. You'll always be my #1Whew. I was beginning to think you didn’t love me anymore.

Hi Dennis, I wanted to thank you!
Over 10 years ago, upon my request, you sent me the circuit diagram for an improved crossover for the Cambridge Audio S30.
They sound great and are still in use. I actually wanted to thank you back then, but my laptop was stolen and my contact information was lost.
It's great to have you here too!
All the best,
Martin
