as someone who regrets parting with my Hales, I can say they are one of a handful of brands they gives the listener a 'feeling' that what he hears is just inherently correct. It also is very listenable with any music or media. I currently listen to speakers that I believe are their equal, but hales were heavy, odd looking, a pain in the ass to move, a pain to place, and I would still like to get another pair because they were great, and the comments about today's csts are right....they would easily cost 20k and sound like it too.
Looking for former Hales System 2 owners feedback
I am looking for people who had Hales system 2's back in the day and loved them. I am intrested in what kind of speakers you are listening to now that you feel is superior to that sound. I've been out of high end audio for 15 years and am putting a system back togeather. The best speakers I owned back in the day were Hales system 2 signature. so this is my point of refrance and would like to hear what other former owners moved on to. I figure that after owning them you would not settle for less today.
