Nice speakers!

I almost bought used Zeta speakers from Audiogon due to gorgeous look.

The only reason that stopped me doing is that I prefer small power SET amp.

The above mentioned QLS is SET friendly......a true 96 DB@ 6 Ohms and a nice safe impedance curve......

Now you’re talking. I like these line source things.

JeffT, did you ever hear these speakers from your guy?

I can recommend the line source speakers from Grandinote Italy.
http://www.grandinote.it/mach9 - en.html

During my last visit there I had the chance to listen to the Mach9, which is a real 98db line source speaker,
working well for all the SET friends in WBF

 

[bonzo75]

Will try. Their pre and power is quite good value

 

[shakti]

Will get the Grandinote Genesi Pre and Demone Monoamps soon

If you listen to the speakers, you should try the actual versions in alloy cabinet, I saw some old versions in wood.

I really like Arion Apolllo speakers with 105 db/W high efficiency.

But I am not willing to give up Lansche 4.1 speaker with pristine treble out of plasma tweeter.

I do not have enough room to place two speakers side by side at my listening space on the third floor.

I asked for my wife's permission to set up second listening space at living room on the second floor.

But she is hesitant to give it go.

Thus I can not move on.

But if you are serious SET Audiophile, I recommend you to audition this excellent speaker yourself.

As beautiful as your third floor is, it is NOT suited for a Dipole Speaker.
Unless you have another room to set up a Dipole System, I would give up the thought of Dipole Speakers, because they would seriously underperform on your third floor.

I had tried to set up WE big horn speakers on second floor if I get it.

You may be right in that I need more space.

But I used to use Apogee Signature in a space similar to my third floor.

The problem is that if two speakers are close to each other, it could be harmful to imaging of both speakers.

I have not heard the QLS speakers but I hope to one day. All of Mr Jazz's speakers are wonderful......

More in the" just goofing off" category, I just built a line source in the garage system. Eight full range Dyna ribbons per channel.
