That's a good question...
After I sold the 888's, I decided to put my Odyssey Audio Kismet Reference floorstanders up for sale. I thought that they were very fine speakers in almost every way, except that the midbass was a little week, taking some of the power that is in that range away, and it bothered me over a period of 2 years. Even at that, they made the Sourcepoints seem lacking (to my ears) in most other areas.
in the interim, I started using a mint set of old Celestion sl6si's that I had, and I realized that I really enjoyed the presentation in my room, even though they had obvious low frequency and dynamic limitations. So, I began a search for good, dynamic small monitors and decided to try to get a set of Triangle Magellan Duettos if possible. I located a dealer with a demo pair, but his price was too high for my budget, and I decided against them.
That same night, I happened to see on USAM a set of Crites Cornscalas that were being sold for a very reasonable price by a well-off gentleman who owns a number of pairs of very good speakers and was just making room for new Sashas. He had bought these new from Crites and had them veneered in Teak professionally as well as upgrading the mid horn driver and the crossover and rewiring them with Audio Note cable and Audio Note binding posts.
I am a long time fan of Klipsch having owned Khorns and Epic CF4's for many years, so I found it irresistible, and I bought them. At this time, I am having custom stands built for them to raise the horn to the correct level. I am enjoying them very much, but as with any speaker, they aren't perfect, and I don't expect perfection.
The mid bass that I was missing is back.
