I have listen extensively to the Audio Physic Spark and Yara (I have no experience witht the RM-22). In my opinion, the Yara has a warmer overall sound. The highs are natural and open. For a speaker of its size, it has a solid bottom end (much better than the Spark). On the other hand, the Spark was too analytical and cold. It was not involving at all. Best of all, the Yara lists for around $1500 (dont't let the lower price fool you!). Use the savings to buy a good speaker cable. I recommend using the Dimarzio Super M-Path with the Yara (yes, Dimarzio is the guitar pickup guy). It is a great bargain at $500 (their power cords are also worth looking into).
Audio Physic Spark v. Joseph RM-22 sigs
I am considering selling my Magneplanar 1.6qr speakers and buying either the Audio Physic Spark or the Joseph RM-22s. Both are right at my price limit of about $2500. I currently use a McIntosh MA-6500 amp & McIntosh MVP-841 CD/dvd & Music Hall mmf-7. Room is 22' x 15' w/ 17' ceiling. However I have to sit 8' from the speakers (very weird, I know, but nothing can be done).
Thanking you in advance for your 'SOUND' advice!
