Weird I have a pair of Sound Field Audio M1 outfitted with the uniq driver from kef and do not find them to be harsh at all. In a nearfield set up they are incredible. 
Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
No offense Bcgator but you just contradicted yourself by comparing Ruth's Chris and Applebees. That's like suggesting enthusiasts avoid spending money at Radio Shack and spend it at Best Buy instead. Unless of course you were kidding in which case...

I have a question....if your local audio shop offered leasing would any of you be interested? I know I would and I have often wondered why this isn't a common practice in the B&M's. 
Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
Here's the thing though....when I go into the HiFi shops the sales staff as well as the owners are more often than not aloof and apathetic unless you tell them you are planning on making a purchase. That's insane. The equipment is on display for a...

My friend and I make the rounds in the twin cities audio shops once or twice a year and are always met with the same contempt by the sales staff. Neither of us have intentions of buying mostly because I would rather spend money elsewhere than with...

Precisely my point tubegroover I was being facetious. This thread is as many have said is pointless. Even if everyone of us could agree on say Bose, there are thousands of people who love the stuff and would completely disagree.

Best imaging and sounding bookshelf speaker
+1 @ doggiehowser. The Soundfield m1 uses the kef coax uniq driver augmented with an 8" powered long throw subwoofer. They are the best imaging speakers I have heard under $5000 and cost a fraction of that. 
Audiophile Active Speakers?
Soundfield audio m1. I have heard a few adams and while quite good the soundfields to me are in a different league.

Well said mitch4t. 
High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground?
Sad to say that the Magnolias in my city probably offer the best customer service. The sales staff may not be the most knowledgeable bunch but they are leaps and bounds more personable than the stiffs that work in the local HiFi shops.That is part... 
High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground?
Enitely too much snobbery in it's current state. I would assume most if it will die off and then encounter a renasance at some point in the future. 
Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S?
Huge ADS fan! I have owned many pairs and still have about three or four including a mint pair of 1530's. Johnnyn53 when did the life style models come out? Are you referring to the M series as well as the Cm's and the Sat stuff? I ask because I h...
