I thought this video was interesting because many of the same things he says were described to me by Clayton Shaw at Emerlad Physics when describing his own speakers. Really interesting stuff. Anybody want an in home trial from Mr. Sanders?

    No thank you.

    Your link didn’t work, but it must be one of these?

    The Sanders 10b’s sound just like the InnerSound Eros MK III’s with the Ultrastat panel. Though the sweet spot is small, it is just like being there. Bass integration with the transmission line modules is excellent. The main difference is they are of modular construction now, so they don’t have to be strapped to a pallet and shipped via freight. The other difference would be the more powerful Sanders bass amp (360WPC@8 Ohms versus 300WPC@ 8) with an improved active crossover design.

    Roger’s vision isn’t for everyone, and I surely don’t agree with him on everything, but I am very happy with his hybrid speaker design. If you’re near my hood someday, you are welcome to stop by and hear for yourself.

    There are quite a few over at the Martin Logan forum that took him up on his 30 day trial for the Sanders amps and ended up keeping them. I’ve tried his SS pre and phono amps, but prefer what I have. Internal pics and further description of his gear can be found in the show us your guts thread.

    ^^ I heard these in my house on the last little get together, to me they sound phenomenal. If I had a large enough room for them, I'd be all over it!

    The next time I go up toward Rich, I'm stopping by just to listen to them again. The bass those babies put out are something to be heard...

    I have also heard Rich's system, in his home no less. The set-up was beyond sweet. The only critique I have is the very small sweet spot. But when your in that spot it's excellent.

    At Mike's (MikeC78) we used the Sanders amp almost exclusively for our 2 day mini Polk Fest and I was impressed with the amp. It's on my short list if I ever run across one reasonably.

    I love my Eros MK II's, Sanders amp, and InnerSound X-over / bass amp. Absoultely the best set up I've come across so far and I've no desire to change anything in my set up. My $.02. YMMV.
    Audio: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * Polk S10 * SVS SB-1000 Pro
    HT: Samsung QN90B * Marantz NR1510 * Panasonic DMP-BDT220 * Roku Ultra LT * APC H10
