Bohlender-Graebener speakers

Evrythngmatters

Lately I have been on a speaker tryout spree. The latest editions to try out were a pair of Bohlender-Graebener Radia Z1 bookshelf speakers. Impressive on vocal,jazz,acoustic,and the like. Not much in the way of bass but that is easily fixed with a nice sealed sub. Don't know if I will keep these since I just purchased another pair of speakers. Or, they may end up in the closet with a bunch of other gear since they are very pleasing to listen to for extended periods. Anyone else ever listen to this brand?

I can't say I have much experience with BG, but I have heard a home made speaker systerm for a home theatre employing the largest BG planars (RD75 I think), along with 6 10" midbass (Vifa drivers from Parts Express), with seperate multiple 12" sub enclosures (I think 4 per side), running off of several Carver Sunfire amps and a Rane or Behringer speaker control system, and it was amazing. Not sure what other processing was in line as far as a preamp/AV processor.

The system was capable of being outrageously loud, but it actually sounded very good at normal levels, and put up a surprisingly good sound stage when ran in the 2 channel (+ subs) mode. As a home theatre system, I don't know that I have heard much better, but then I haven't really heard much having just really gotten started in this hobby.
