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

Yes, excellent tweeter, one of the best domes I've ever heard. We're using one of the Transducer Labs tweeters in the Vapor Aurora because no other dome has as lively and engaging a sound. Be extremely careful as that dome is literally thinner than an egg shell and extremely fragile. I know, I broke one. Meniscus sells small screens that offer some protection for those probing fingers.

Looks like a Peerless woofer, Nomex cone, which is pretty nice too.

That said, there's no doubt that there are plenty of monitors in that price range which can boast better in-room response than Daber's posted response plots.

And while on-axis response isn't everything, it's about 90% of everything when it comes to accurate reproduction.

Hi Finsup.

My calling attention to the manufacturer's own measurements is trashing a product or self promotion? Really? I didn't realize that directing people to Daber's Facebook page was somehow an affront to decorum.

I personally think that the monitor has excellent potential. They are using very nice components in the system.
