    @@aldoantoniovicentesilva6996 Usually I would go with 4 ohm but it can sound better with 8 ohm. Some 8 ohm speakers will dip down to 3.2ohm. My understanding is you will have a better idea looking at the impedance graph.

    Wow, I never had to leave a comment like this before. I normally only look at the comments just to get various thoughts and opinions on perhaps comparisons to other speakers. And I was surprised to see several really ridiculous and ticky tack comments. No wonder some folks cringe at the term of so called audiophile at times. Couldn’t imagine the poor people who are married to these guys or friends with them. Must be a real downer. Anyways sorry for the tangent. To Thomas, I have always appreciated your reviews, your stories and your enthusiasm.You’ve helped me a lot on my own discovery of Hi-Fi audio. Congrats on your new speaker and I wish you all the best with it. So regardless whether it’s the best speaker ever or merely just a good speaker. Either way you deserve congrats for your endeavor and your efforts. Appreciate you pal and have a great one.

    Good for you Mr. Thomas! I am very happy for you that you are making a real go at the stereo market. FWIW, although as I have sent you pictures before, I have tall multi-driver open baffle dipole line arrays with 13 drivers a side (custom designed by a good stereo designer friend of mine - so NOT at a high cost) So, that is my very favourite type. However, for many years before this I also had a custom made, by another stereo designer friend, a simple transmission line set with 2 drivers, a huge, heavy box with a custom designed 8" driver with a folded horn transmission line coming out the front at the bottom, and ribbon tweeters mounted on separate plinths that sat on top of the tall boxes, which could be simply moved forward, backward, tilted horizontally, whatever to suit and balance the sound. And, I must say, that I *LOVED* the transmission line sound! It is so open and spacious and the bass goes pretty deep. A fantastic sound! So, being a person who will never, ever, *EVER* have conventional sealed 'boxes' I can imagine that your new transmission line speakers will sound awesome! 😁👍

    @@ThomasAndStereo Yeah, that was the primary idea in creating the line arrays and their strong point is indeed in the size of the image and soundstage. The components aren't that expensive and the tonality may not be up to the better speakers, but it most DEFINITELY does show up differences in image placement and soundstage. Just a quick example, the recent Pink Floyd Animals remix. Yes, it was far more defined and exact in its presentation, but on my system I could tell that the 1st UK pressing which is indeed murkier and darker, still had a more 'organic' and natural placement of instruments in the soundstage. Whereas with the 'cleaner' more precise remix, the placement of the instruments sounded to me to be more artificial and not as naturally appearing in the image, which to me the original UK pressing sounds better. Also, the material lends itself to a more dark, atmospheric landscape, kind of like the original Vertigo UK pressings of the early Black Sabbath albums. On my system, that is why a LOT of these recent 1/2 speed Abbey Road remasters do not sound very good. There are exceptions, but many of them come across as fremer said about the recent Who's Next album, 'like they are projected flat across a shower curtain' In other words with no real depth or dimension.

    My view on these speakers! 99 percent of us that watch and listen KZreadrs reviewing all sorts of of audio equipment,especially speakers……My first impression on these speakers were like hmmmm the sound is pretty good, the sound stage seems to be pretty big,and they seem to have pretty good bass from what Thomas was saying. Now, I know I know you gonna say carl you can’t judge a speaker by listening to it through a iPad speaker,c’mon man! Well I would have to agree but hey we all do it 😉 😂 now lucky for me I had to go by Thomas’s house to pick some tubes,and while being there Thomas pops the question hey carl would you like to listen to my new speakers? Of course I said yes 👍 I’ll keep this short lol first off everything Thomas spoke about was right on and would agree with him.these little speakers pack a punch “trust me’’ they can shake a floor, very impressive. Honestly for a small woofer these things bang for the buck are amazing.so I would greatly suggest to anyone going to the Montreal audio show is find Thomas and have a listen to these little greatness of a speaker and BTW there was a little something about these speakers I didn’t like, but what I will do I’ll let Thomas maybe explain what it was in his next video 😉😆

    I purchased these. Confirming what other said about being great a low levels. There is also lots of sound stage, the better the amp, the more you get I'm thinking although they sound great running off my REGA Brio-R. I love that they are made of birch and are really quite beautiful The finish is high end and they have nice tone like cello when you rap them with your knuckles. I am one to EQ via WiiM app and these sound good with a variety of presets depending on how the music is recorded. Really fun to play around with. Never yet used the foam inserts BTW. I just don't see the need. Listen to wide range of music. Diane Bish sounds amazing. These are full range speakers. You don't need a sub., so really do help the home decor if that's important to you. One less thing lurking around the entertainment center.

    Both sound demo used the same matrix Dac. I had the matrix directly into the ts A75. Yes, it has good synergy the A75 and the speaker. Another KZreadr who has both noticed the same and glad you can tell in a sound demo. The speaker can work on a desktop with the ports closed but it is a very big speaker. You might be better of waiting for the Special edition which is more of a Harberth p3esr type of speaker.

    There are reasons to put the tweeter as close to the woofer as possible. Single driver or coaxial even put the tweeter inside the woofer. However, like everything in life, there are pros and cons. Take Harbeth for example, everyone say you need a thick cabinet, yet they use thin cabinets.

    Pmc felt more like a traditional speaker. Tighter bass, perhaps because you cannot remove the foam. Pmc also had a very lively top end with lots of detail, I love that speaker. The Voyager is very different, it feels bigger with wider soundstage and as I mentioned smoother and warmer. Both are good but for different audience. The PMC has a more traditional presentation and will work in most rooms. The Voyager is more polarizing.

    Why not use a more detailed tweeter? Would that detract from the "heart-melting" midrange? I used to love the Buchardt S300MkII for its natural tonality, but eventually I was missing too much important detail due to its fuzzy treble. So I guess I'm not interested in this speaker -- otherwise I would be.

    This tweeter is used in some usher speakers so it can be hyper detail. It is a simple resistor value change in the crossover. I did contemplate on that and experiment. Eventually I decided on this voicing because there are many speakers with hyper detail top end on the market but only a few with buttery smooth midrange. You can go for the b&w 607, it is an amazing speaker with all the detail you need. I have that speaker and am really impressed.

    Thank you Thomas. I'm not interested in the boosted highs of B&W speakers. Could I ask more about your speaker? Since you say the tweeter "can be" hyper-detailed, it sounds as if you have rolled it off somewhat so that the highs are not as pronounced. But that's a different thing from how "resolving" or "detailed" a tweeter actually is. That's what I'm trying to understand. Lots of music doesn't need a lot of detail -- and lots of music sounded good on the Buchardt S300MKII. But some didn't. Some electronic music for example has very complex overtones and echo effects and decays in the highs that are important to the music. Please comment more about the character of your speaker and what kind of music you feel it plays the best with. Thanks again!

    My RANT about speakers that sound "differenet" to other speakers. It's not so much a frequency response thing, but more of an acoustic method that's different (a bit like tube amps sounding different to solid state amps). If you have drivers in the front panel compared to a single large panel (with the same frequency respose) I reckon they would still sound different. From a speaker builder of speakers that sound "different".

    Various notes It has thin bamboo walls but, unlike the previous model, the internal woods for the TL act as reinforcement so the vibrations will be small. Access to the crossover is simple, which makes it easier to modify. For example, do the bypass with a Miflex KPCU-01 or another much more expensive one from Jupiter. These speakers will need about 100 watts at 4 Ohms due to the low sensitivity and impedance for quality recordings with great dynamic range. The IOVX is totally inappropriate. Obviously your amplifier sounds much better, as expected. I downloaded the demo song and it only has a DR6, ridiculous. Surely there are other themes also available with a DR 10 or higher.
