Quick question: Any chance to demo the Blackstone series?

Has no one had any experience with the Blackstone series?
Just looking for insight because I think this would work for me?
Anyone?

I have experience with all three lines - TL1, TL2, and TL3.

TL1 is good bang for the buck when budget is really really tight but I tell you the fun really starts at the TL2 range. I really liked them a lot and you'll see from some of my older posts that I couldn't even imagine what kind of better performance the TL3 would bring.

Then I got the TL3 but I've only had em in a music setup and haven't tried them with movies yet but for tiny speakers, they are awesome . You will need a good sub that can play higher which is expected but they really will shock you (pleasantly ).


(My summary - go with the TL3 if its within your budget (you wont regret it) but if not, the TL2s will more than keep you happy. The TL2's are also such a big jump over the TL1 that I'd really suggest you save up a little bit and go with the TL2 if you don't have the moolah yet)

Topper, what were you driving the TL2 and TL3 with? I am thinking of using a 10W tube amp with one of these speakers.

marantz integrated amp - pm8003 - for the TL3

for the TL2 it was on the home theater rig which was a marantz pm5005 receiver
