Von Schweikert DB99 vs Consonance M15-thoughts?


I own the db99's. running with 16 wpc set monos. I just heard the new Consonance M15 horn speaker and thought the M15's actually sounded better. to me it sounded open and has tighter bass than the db99's. hard to believe, but could this be a better speaker than the 99's? anyone compared these ? thanks

I've heard both extensively(at Quest).The DB 99's are phenominally good speakers.I've heard them with low power SET Tubes and monster SS Amps.They sound great with any decent amp.I've owned 4 jr's and they're not even close!(although the 4 sr(which I've also had)is a great speaker in its own right and gives the 99's a run for their money.This being said,I also love the M15's.They are visually striking and remarkably balanced sonically.While not as analytical as some domes,the tweeters are extremely revealing for horns(without harshness or nastiness).If I had a larger room I would purchase them immediately!
