I have an almost new pair for sale here. Read my comments about them. They are really amazing. The footprint is small but they are tall and thin. Jazz, big band and movies are stunning because of the ribbons' speed and airiness. Bass is great too. Try to listen to a pair somewhere for yourself.
Any experience with Newform Research speakers
There are several planar hybrids on the market now that are available by mail order. I am curious about the Newform Research models. Besides needing all the other good stuff in a new speaker, that is, tight bass,good imaging, wide sounstage, and overall musicality, I need a speaker with a small footprint that will not overwhelm my room. Also, are many of these planars just home theater speakers which are designed to just reproduce "glitzed-up" special sound effects on DVD, and are neither accurate nor musical???? This issue alone could make an interesting discussion thread!!!!
