We are moving on with preparation for round 3 of our floorstanding speaker evaluations.
Previous rounds:
The Official $2,500 Speaker Evaluation / Home Audition Event
The Official $1,000 Speaker Evaluation / Home Audition Event Results
This round will be considered our $3,000 round, where the speaker MSRP per pair will be a minimum of $2,500 and a maximum of $3,500... once again, floorstanding only.
Below are the speakers nominated for this round as they are updated, including those that were in the voting for the last round.
No code has to be inserted here.*MSRP rounded to the nearest $100.
We will run nominations through December 15th and open the voting poll on December 16th... probably run it through January 15th. This will give us plenty of time to check with manufacturers/distributors and get speakers lined up... get them in had early to make sure there is no shipping damage to the mechanical operation of the speaker. We anticipate having this evaluation the end of February or the beginning for March... all tentative at this point.
Unlike previous events, these floorstanding speakers can be any color, we will not limit them to a non-sheen black. While we will ask for the lowest priced finish to be sent to us, they can be piano black or wood veneer or any color offered. HOWEVER, for the sake of keeping the price range at a minimum of $2,500 and maximum of $3,500... the lowest priced finish is the MSRP we will consider.
NOTE: Klipsch and ProAc do not wish to participate and their speakers will not be considered for nomination.
We will only evaluate 6 pairs of speakers... no surprises and no other reviews... strictly 6 speakers. Therefore, we will take the top 6 speakers with highest votes among the nominated speakers. If either of the companies refuse to send us speakers, we will take the next highest voted speaker.
Please provide a link to the speakers you are nominating at the manufacturer's website if possible.
Let the nominations begin!
