The Philharmonic Audio BMR, Refreshed!

[Pogre]

Maryland is almost as far from Arizona as you can get in conus... lol.

I dunno man. What really has me is that piano black finish. I miss having that on my mains. Plus I know I'll love how they sound.

 

[TankTop5]

Will there be a Salk version????

 

[D Murphy]

Nobody is in Kansas. Really. Nobody.

(Dennis is in Maryland/DC area)

That's right. I'm not in Kansas anymore.

 

[D Murphy]

He's already building a couple of pairs. I don't know what his pricing is though.

I like the idea of a “budget” and furniture grade speaker.

Is he doing a curved cabinet, or doing rectangular?

totally rectangular. Jim doesn't do curved.

 

[Beave]

Jim is going to sell the Salk version of the BMR tower for $3499.99.

PRICE WAR!

Riiiiight. And he's running a buy-one get-one-free sale for the Song Towers. That Amazon sure has shaken things up.

And here I was thinking I wasn't going to be buying any more speakers...

LOL, sorry, I saw Kansas mentioned in another thread and guessed wrong. Thanks @Swerd for the correction. Maryland is a beautiful state. Good excuse for a holiday? Dennis sounds like he'd be real interesting to meet in person. Can't wait for everybody to start opening up the borders again.

Dennis is indeed very interesting to meet. I've always thought so since I first met him years ago.

He's a musician, earned a living as an economist (now retired), and became a self-taught speaker designer on the side. He understands science & scientific methods, has an encyclopedic knowledge of how many different drivers sound, and he understands better than anyone else I've met how speakers should sound & how to avoid many common pitfalls and flaws in speaker design. He can listen to a speaker for a few seconds, and have a good idea of what needs fixing, and how he can go about fixing it.

Most important, Dennis is always glad to share what he knows about speaker design.

 

[ryanosaur]

Hmmm... buy a pair, get the third tower (center channel!) for free perhaps?
I think I fantasized getting a 5-channel Salk SS 9.5 system and only paying 50% for the Center and Surrounds!
(What’s that? Too optimistic? )

Oh, yeah! OPTIMISTIK AF!

Find out where the secret BMR warehouse is, and I'll get you a 5-finger discount.

What are the dimensions on the BMR Towers? Particularly interested in the width at the widest point.

So... let me just say that's insane.

Yeah, Dennis does some amazing work. I am very tempted to drive to DC in November. He has a room booked for the Capital Audio Fest.
