[Mikig]

Currently -
Avantgarde Duo XD and
Avantgarde Duo (c2006)

Previously -
Martin Logan Expression 13A (didn't like my room!),
Quad 2905 / 2912 (remarkably good despite my room but I don't want barn doors blocking my views),
ATC Active 50 (far too "in-yer-face" for comfortable domestic listening),
KEF Reference 107 (lovely 1986 speakers),
Westrex 2326A Studio Monitors (Rare early 60s, bought for £20 the pair but too old),
Wharfedale Airedale (early 60s home built from GA Briggs' drawings, later modified with KEF drivers)

I won't hide from you that I would like a pair of “Piega” Coax… a dealer not too far away has them, I would like to go and listen. But I should sell part of my mini speaker collection. And I'm thinking about it, also because frankly now of all the components I have between speakers and electronics, I use a minimal part... the others furnish the room... but I'm fond of it, so it won't be easy... congratulations on your system and also for the wonderful view of that magnificent room!

Whatever’s happening in these photos is lovely.

JM Lab Focal Electra 926 - for a few years now. Struggling to find a replacement that's comprehensively better and that doesn't cost more than I paid for my house.

 

[Scytales]

2x Cabasse Catalane 500 (front/left) + 1x Cabasse Iroise SCS (center) to be replaced by another Catalane ASAP.

 

[DavidMcRoy]

My "daily drivers" are my own DIY dipoles (photo.)

) I I also own, and occasionally drag out for a listen, Acoustat SPECTRA 1100s, Magnepan 1.6/QRs and Tannoy System 12 DMT studio monitors.

 

[Bruce Morgen]

Interesting. This is the first time I see Zaph speakers outside Zaph's own web.

Linkwitz LX Sirius +2.

Cool. I have been curious about these ever since reading about this type of design.

/Martin

 

[DanielT]

Modified and multiamped NHT 3.3.
Homemade subs, sealed boxes and EQ, JBL 2245H.
Quad 988 with homemade dipole subs.
Kali LP-6.
Vanatoo Transparent Zero.
Vanatoo T1E.

And another set arriving next week...

Speaking of NHT. I bought a pair of used NHT Super One mostly because I was curious about how they sounded. I don't know if you can say they had a BBC dip, or maybe you can? In any case, it wasn't something I, in my listening room, liked so I sold them. I absolutely do not regret trying them, on the contrary. It's fun to test.

Sealed boxes, with 6 inch bass driver. They really demanded to be used with a sub.

Having said that. The NHT 3.3 is a completely different model. I came close to buying a pair a number of years ago. I hesitated because of their size. I regret it a bit.

 

[BDWoody]

Main system is JBL 708Px3 (across front) and JBL 705Px6, with 2x10" HSU subwoofers (the old round ones) that do double duty as the L&R stands.

 

[Willem]

Main system (large room):
Quad 2805, with SVS SB2000, B&W PV1d and Kef Kube 8b subwoofers, equalized by MSO

Study (18 sq m): Harbeth P3ESR as desktop speakers.

Bedroom: Q Acoustics 3010

Garden room: Wharfedale Diamond 220

Of the two budget speakers I much prefer the Diamond 220.

I have some of those bass drivers. The results they got weren't surprising- I think this is one of the designs released post-Kantor and Hidley.

The 3.3s are big, but they're also pretty picky on how and where to set them up. It really does take a dedicated room to get their strengths.

Actually member @Engelhorn discusses his excellent Zaph ZRT build HERE.

Also pretty popular is the Zaph ZD5 and I believe that have been a few references to that model here at ASR. Speaker drivers and constructed crossovers are available at Madisound. Unfortunately the constructed cabinet mentioned with respect to the ZRT is no longer available.
