Daber 2: better speaker in the world for $1k?


I've been listening at length to the NEW Daber Audio Monitor 2's, and I'm blown away. The clarity of the highs and the palpability of the bass despite the small size of the driver is knocking my socks off as I listen to DMB "Shake Me Like a Monkey". Is there a better loudspeaker in the world for less than $1k? How about for less than $2k? Just sayin....

Jedinite - What he has are not prototypes, they are the final run. Tim has pair number 001. He waited a long time for them while I worked out the bugs in my crossover. What he has should be well worth the wait though. I have not had a chance to put the photos on the website, as I'm horrible at web design. We used to have a better website, but it got hacked, and that is neither here nor there. Sorry to say it, but the best way to keep up to date is through our facebook page for the time being, though I hope to have them up on the website within the next week. As always, feel free to call or email any time. Thanks!
I rarely ever weigh in on a thread that mentions my product, but I think that on this one I need to. Tim has been a great customer. He has owned three pairs of my speakers and is on the edge of ordering a fourth, when his money is right.

To give you a bit of background, I went through a dark period of life, divorce, loss of children, etc, which may explain the absence of newly listed product you may have not seen from me in the last year. Tim came to me at the time when I was finishing the Monitor 2. He ordered a pair of Monitor 3's and a pair of Monitor 2's. He owned the first pair of commercially available Monitor 2's ever, in fact. He has written me many a letter/email about how much he has enjoyed them. I told him that I deeply appreciate all of the compliments, but perhaps he could let the rest of the world know his joy since I was not financially in a position to blow a ton on advertising due to afformentioned circumstances. The recent influx of comments/posts are probably my fault for offering that suggestion. I think that because he and I went through very similar life events and he enjoyed what I have sold him, he wanted to help me out. He's been a great customer, and for that I am thankful.

As far as gathering other opinions, I can tell you this much; there will be an upcoming review from a very well respected source. Until then, Happy Listening!
