Salk Sound speakers are very good, and Jim Salk is a great guy. I don't know where you're located, but you can sometimes find him at audio shows. He's been at RMAF and the California Audio Show, based on my memory.
Salk Audio Sound
Looking ( still ) for new speakers to replace old Spendors ( with a Leben tube amplifier). Had narrowed my search to Devore Super 9, Proac D30R, Sonist Concerto 4 when the itch to save some money cropped up ( two tuitions due this week). Have been hearing about Salk. Some have denigrated as "hifi"- ish; whatever that means. Seems like a great value and certainly has his following. Unfortunately, can't find them to hear for myself. So are the Salk speakers on par with the other possibilities above?
