    I would normally jump on this kind of thing but I just finished listening to the Mythos ST's and I'm still loving them. They are wonderful and they have a home here for as long as I can stand them.

    If I where to buy new speakers , Klipsch and B&W are super high on my short list. Totem also are up in the top 3.
    Without yet hearing the new LSIM's I have no comment on them yet. But the 703's are coming here shortly and I'm looking forward to feeding them some Rotel and Cambridge.

    I am not disputing his tastes in speakers. Just asking what he see's in them is all. Because, either he is joking. Or there is something special he likes about them.

    If those CV's are your "Dream" speakers, you need to stay asleep longer.

    If I had to pick a new speaker under $5k (new) fitting my room, it would be the Harbeth Compact 7SE. Just stunningly consistent sound from top to bottom. The Harbeth room with them was one of the 3 best sounding rooms at RMAF IMHO.
