Well, I picked up a set of Hales Transcendence 5's, and, I gotta say, these don't do anything wrong. I never thought I'd replace my 3.1TL's in my office, but they may be headed for the theatre room where my Vandy's are currently. Been spinning various Dire Straits, Mark Knoppler stuff and am headed toward some Rush and Gear Daddies soon. Paired with a Luxman integrated for those interested.

Anyone in the Houston or Texas area interested in some Vandersteen 2c's? They are likely on the way out of the house...

Any Hales luv on the site?

    A little bump for others to weigh in if they've loved on some Hales (or not).

    They are soo balanced sounding at all volumes and image really, really well. I don't miss the SDA affect as much as I thought I would here in my office (which is fairly big at 14 x 18).

  • I remember listening to some of their speakers at a dealer's, many years ago. I thought they sounded great. Great imaging.

    There's someone selling a pair of model 2's here in Dallas. I'm not in the market for them, but I'd love to hear them.
