Need advice on a very dynamic, full range speaker?

Seems like I have contributed to three or four threads about Mahlers in the past week.

If you want to learn about the Mahlers, I suggest you go to the website of Vienna Acoustics' U.S. distributor, Sumiko, and read the Anthony Cordesman review for Audio and Robert Deutsch review for Stereophile (www.sumikoaudio.net). I have owned Mahlers since early 2001 and find those two reviews to be pretty accurate based upon my own experience with the speakers.

I would add that they must be used in a big room, with a high-current solid-state amp (preferably using bi-polar output transistors for maximum speed) and very careful choice of speaker cables. Of the amps he tried, Cordesman found they worked best with a 350 watt Krell amp.

I really like the Mahlers, preferring them in a lot of ways to my Revel Salons.

You might consider & find a later Talon Khorus X in that price range too, very very dynamic & full range.

Who isn't? Better yet, who shouldn't be?

The shortcut to finding this type of speaker is to first find a magical amplifier that does what few amps can do. That is take absolute control over a speaker's drivers. As well as having speed, agility, warmth, fullness, and depth.

Find that amp (it most likely will not be a Krell) and then you are free to choose which good quality full-range speaker you'd like to sound 'very dynamic'.
