Great sounding close to back wall speakers.
Began a similar thread years ago, and settled on the Gradient Preludes. However, if I could have afforded it, the Combak Bravo would have been ideal.

jrd351, are you saying that the totem's are not in the same class as the bravo's? as in, the bravo's are a MUCH better speaker than the totem's? 
I decided on Monitor Audio for my music, but
The Ref3A De Capo is $2500 and, in my opinion, simply amazing.

according to the totem website the arro only needs at minimum 6 inches from the wall and at maximunm 1 foot. i just wonder how it compares in sound to the bravo.

totem arro? 
price points vs. room treatment
what does one do, then, if the room absolutely can not be treated and the speakers must be positioned as closely as possible to the wall behind it? must that mean one sacrifices sound and quality? is one forced to get a portless speaker and a sub?...

vinyldoes, if you were to compare the bravo to another speaker what would it be?

And is the new cabinet design, crossovers, and tuning indeed worth the $2000 difference? 
Combak - Bravo
vinyldoes, how would youd describe the difference between the two? 
Combak - Bravo
then why do you suppose the bravo is $2000 more than the prelude? 
Combak - Bravo
Now I know! Forget the numbers, the Bravo differs from the prelude in that 1. bravo has custom crossovers made by the japanese owner himself 2. custom designed cabinet. and 3. custom cabinet tuning. all of which, according to some one i just spoke...

i called mayaudio and the heavily accented owner told me that the bravo was a much much better speaker. although the bravo is also much better looking, i wonder why then would the price almost double...surely it can't be because of asthetic purpos...

vinyldoes, i agree with you. truly a lovely lovely sound. one thing the bravo's are known to do well is perform perfectly up against a wall behind it. this is a nice feature for both the cramped living quarters in tokyo and my cramped living quart...

i dont know if you were referring to my post. but if you were, my only doubt is whether i can afford it or not! however, since you seem to know about this speaker, do you think it's overpriced at $3900. what is your opinion of the speaker?
