System Audio Ranger Masters

Looks like they might be discontinued as I'm getting them less than half RRP (I'm in Australia). Pretty impressed, I heard a few other Speakers at more than there RRP and preferred these. 5 year warranty and beautiful black gloss finish. Also these were demoed with far inferior ancillory equipment than I will use with them. They sound different enough to all my other Speakers, with a fast, nimble but still punchy bass, I'm confident I'll have some fun with these, and being so slimline I'll be able to fit them in, although it's getting really crowded now!

Thanks, @kdude66 . I've put a deposit down and will pick them up in 3 weeks or so. Also reading up on them they are wired internally with Nordost Cable.

Well, I guess I have 60 + hours on the SA Ranger Master's now, and they are settling in nicely. Initially they were a little on the bright side, but run in has tamed this. They sound much bigger than their physical dimensions and are really transparent. My mate was over recently and did a blind test. He thought they were either a ribbon or a stat. He was staggered at how good they are and how cheap I got them.

I would say they are a very good "Rock n Roll" Speaker. Melvin's Houdini sounds massive on them. Veruca Salt's sublime American Thighs rocks like a motherfarker, although Tinderstick's S/T is reproduced impressively as well.
Currently running them with Vincent SP-T700 Mono's, very nice, think I prefer the big 998 Mono's with them.

All in all very happy with the Ranger Master's.

Hmm, wondering how good SA's TOTL Pandion 50's are? Might check them out soon!

I now have well over 100 hours on the SA Ranger Masters. They just continue to open up. The Soundstage is now big and deep. These are just mind blowingly good. Transparent but really dynamic. In fact they are close to the transparency of my Nakamichi Dragon Slayer's which are the most transparent Speaker's I've heard.
Doubt there is much under $10K (Aust.) (and more from some Speakers I've heard) that can get close to these, although yet to hear the SA Pandion Series.

Hi mark93, I paid Au3k on Clearance and yes I still have them.

Hi James,

I am sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

With a high quality Turntable, Tube Phono Stage and Tube Pre-Amp the heavily modded/upgraded Dragons sound superb.

Well, I bought another Pair of SA Ranger Masters, this time for one of my Brother's. He likes them a lot.

I also heard the SA Pandion 30's. Very impressive. I am intending to get an audition of the SA Pandion 50's next time I'm over that side of town.
