Philharmonic Audio BMR Towers


Anybody out there by chance have a pair?
Impressions?

I had a pair and sold them. They were very good giving a wide sound Stage and listening position, they have great in room bass for a single woofer but I prefer speakers a little less forgiving with a more neutral presentation. I would say a lot of people would be surprised just how good they are for the price. There's a large thread on AVS on BMRs.

djones51,

By forgiving, do you mean they 'soften the edges' of the music as it were?

I received my towers two weeks ago.  I love them.  They're replacing MartinLogan Monolith 2's.  The towers have better bass.  The balance is different than the Monoliths.  No really serious listening to them yet but they sound fantastic.  Well worth the price.  And they're gorgeous to look at.

Its been almost a year since I purchased the Towers. They are not as impressive as the monitors. You kinda expect to get deep bass out of a speaker this size. You do not expect to get the bass you get our of the monitors. If you close your eyes when listening to the monitors you just can't believe the speakers aren't bigger than thet are. The Towers do play louder, deeper and may be a little smoother in the midrange. One thing is for certain I was bothered by the sound of the towers on some music and was about ready to look at something else. Decided to go through my system to make sure everything was set correctly. Found that the balanced cables between my Gustard R26 Dac and Luxman 507ux integrated amp were connected out of phase. Things got better especially the midrange, after changing the phase on the amp. (I listened to the monitors with the Gustard and Luxman out of phase the whole time I had them no doubt they would  have sounded better with that correction.)
