What are considered the best Speaker drivers ? What Speakers are successfully using them ?


Hello everyone,

The title says it all really but the budget would be no more than 30,000 dollars please,

I would say i am maybe considered old school Audiophile with only slight knowledge of modern day HiFi. I have over the years moved to panel Speakers and currently own Martin Logan CLX ART with Decent i Sub.

My system is very open sounding and creates a believable musical presentation but sometimes i am left wondering if i could get more Dynamics and body from a modern day box type Speaker without given up the strengths of my panels.

My room is only 12 ft W by 35 ft L by 8 ft H and treated with GIK Acoustics panels on front wall and first reflections points.

With so many Speaker companies the choices seems over whelming your help is very much appreciated thank you.

Hello Select-Hifi
It seems you like the performance of the panels and your overall  happy with the sound then perhaps look at enhancing the low frequencies.

GR research has kits for servo driven subwoofers. he may also build it for you. 
I have a tower of three twelve inch drivers for each channel. These are open baffle subs. They load the room very differently and will complement the panels as the panels too are open baffle speakers.
Each driver has two coils, one for driving the cone    and the other to monitor and ensure that the movement of the cone is in line with the current low frequency. each tower has its own amplifier, and it can be tuned to be flat from 20hz to 200hz . Please read the description on the website (it is better)  or speak to Danny Richie
