Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it?


I am very close to ordering a pair of the Harmonic Precision Carravelle speakers. I am looking in the below $5,000 range and these look interesting. There are only a couple of reveiws so I was wondering if anyone has heard them and been unimpressed? It is a lot of money but I may take a chance on it. Anyone think I can do better at my price point. I will be buying a new amp after I choose a speaker.

Pal,

It really does not sound like there is too much risk here. I have not heard a single negative thing on these speakers and I am an Audio and Music Junkie. I would love to see a follow up with your impression of the speakers. Good Luck and Congrats on your decision and purchase.

I cannot believe this thread is still going. A speaker cannot be judged by the drivers alone. There is much more envolved. Sure JM Lab makes great drivers but guess what, I find their speakers Mechanical and very analytical sounding. Are my ears perfect, no but I know what I like.

Things like the crossover, enclosure characteristics, and design make a huge difference. Maybe these speakers are amazing. To argue sight unseen or heard and base your opinion on the drivers used is just silly. Listen to the speakers, then give your opinion. Otherwise it is nothing more than speculation.

Right now the "HYPE" meter is running very HIGH on the Caravelles and the DK Integrated Amplifer! Add in an Audio Aero Prima CD Player and use AudioQuest DBS Cables and you will have the ULTIMATE IN HIGH FIDELITY PERIOD! End of Story! Class A Hype System!

Sorry Could Not Resist! Found it humorous! I am sure the Caravelles are great speakers! 94 Posts and Going strong, they better be!
