If your are an idiot for saying your system is the best what, does saying it is "indistinguishable from live" make you?

Probably a martian. I am sure no one sitting there can distinguish my system from life. Although I would not risk that golden ear lunatics can't! :D

Without having heard your Speakers, I seriously think you could be the only Person who thinks your Speakers are better than Henks Grand :rolleyes:

Yeah, pretty funny statement from Andromeda I would say...

Plus i dont have audiophile Friends really .
Never go to shows or dealers anymore , virtually nobody has heard mine lol.
Audiophiles just like Christoph and spirit and many others are desperate to put a what s best sticker on audio Gear .
A whats different sticker is mostly more appropriate / Meaningfull imo

Interesting marketing strategy...

They are NOLA. More importantly a dipole with bass.

Alon / Nola were my introduction to dipoles. I still own a modded pair of Alon iv's
(with Alon v spec mid range and tweeters)
which i keep as spares, and which will form the basis of a system for the gym I'm currently building.

I replaced these with Alon Phalanx which i adored, bass included, but they were not robust enough for my requirements.
I basically started this thread after letting a pair of Concert Grand Reference Gold slip through my fingers, due the same reservations about longevity, at my hands, and physical aesthetics being a big step down from the relatively sexy Focals

I did not mean tot be funny , i mean it.

Regarding dipoles that do bass well , one that immediately comes to mind is the Martin Logan statement probably in its later version now, never heard it though.
I ve heard their simpeler models in the past and while having a see through midrange they lacked overall woofer integration and impact.
The apogee grands have impact but are not the most transparant speakers ive heard to date

Had a slightly disapointing response from the European distributor.
The response was perfectly adequate, it is just the situation that disappoints

Hello Mr Baffled,

Thank you for your interest in Spatial speakers.

We do not sell the US Spatial speakers here in Europe.

We develop with Clayton Shaw (Owner Spatial US) our own Spatial Europe product line.

Compare to the soundquality of the Lumina L 2 we have our top Modell Nº 8 (The name before was M 1 Signature; review attached!)

At this time our complete Spatial productline is passive, but we still working to acitivate them with the Hypex N-Core modules. (Similiar the L 2 where the bass is activated)

Clayton can not sell the L 2 to Europe, because the L 2 has no CE confirmation. (It means that the Hypex Modul has the confirmation, but when you screwed this modul in the speaker baffle the whole speaker need the
CE confimation!)

We are building up an european wide dealernetwork and have no dealer at this time in UK. I have a lot of contacts to dealer in UK but they will not invest in a new speaker brand.

I will let you know soon, when we finish the Nº 8 activating.

Best regards

Sorry for the thread revival, but i was intruiged by what I've read recently about the Sound Kaos Liberation dipole.
Does anyone have any experience with the brand?
They are developing a new flagship with additional bass capability, I've got my name down for an audition, hopefully this summer
