To Jeff Fritz,
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your cogitations over the years. Your honesty and candor are quite refreshing. May I suggest you investigate the Manger S1 active floorstander? The Manger driver has the least distorted wavelaunch of any speaker. I have owned a pair of passive speakers (Coincident Odysseys) that use the Manger driver for many years, and their naturalness is uncanny.
Kindest regards,
