I would take Bobs comparo with a grain of salt. Bob was a strange bird.
I would love to give the Songtowers a listen. The have generated a lot of buzz and I expect that they are a very good speaker.

Ah yes, that's right; he did hear a pair. He's a really good guy and went through an exhaustive search to find his ideal speakers. Definitely check out his thread (click here).
Good call, Robof83!

No matter what measurements tell us, a loudspeaker isn't good until it sounds good. – Dr. Floyd Toole
Good speakers generally sound good in most rooms. It's only below the transition frequency (300 Hz or so depending on the size of the room) where the room largely determines how good the speaker sounds, and there judicious placement, equalization and multiple subwoofers can fix those problems. - Dr. Sean Olive

I remember reading another thread that even involved a blind speaker shootout where the author purchased the songtowers(I think).
Although I don't own the Songtowers and don't ever really plan to, they are a speaker that I most certainly wan't to here if merely for a frame of reference.

Sorry, I misread that as $695 per pair when it really was $695 each. Thanks for the correction.

bandphan is off the scale
But why are you offering an opinion in a thread that isnt looking for one, other than self promotion as mentioned. Hope you enjoy you speakers for many years to come, just dont be closed minded and a fanboy fanatic as to iritate othersNauance suggested starting an RBH thread and I concur

You're welcome to come listen to my STs. I don't care whether you are seriously shopping or just curious. I'm in Gaithersburg, Md., not far outside Washington, DC. Send a PM if you want to set up a visit.
If I'm too far away for that, there is an Owner's Audition list on the Audiocircles Salk forum. Most Salk owners realize that accosting strangers on the street is a bit weird, but are more than happy to demo their speakers to someone who contacts them.

That would probably be me (thread linked in my sig). If it was someone else - cool.

Did your thread have 8 or so auditions?

Yeah, sounds like mine. Is it the thread over at AVS Forum? I had more than 8 auditions (a lot more), but many were previous to the thread bring started, and many I just didn't bother noting. I guess I kind of chose the speakers I knew people would be interesting in hearing about.
Anyway, it was a great time, but after 2+ years of looking I am glad the journey is finally over.
