Made by Pass Labs! What do you think it'll sound compared to Polk?

I wouldn't say the Nextel drivers are the "best available", but they are nice. I wouldn't mind getting my ears on them."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

That's a surprisingly traditional design considering what he's done w/ single drivers, horns & TL designs on the DIY & Firstwatt side.Gallo Ref 3.1 : Bryston 4b SST : Musical fidelity CD Pre : VPI HW-19
Gallo Ref AV, Frankengallo Ref 3, LC60i : Bryston 9b SST : Meridian 565
Jordan JX92s : MF X-T100 : Xray v8
Backburner:Krell KAV-300i -
MSRP of $25,000, hmmmm.....not today. I would like to here them with some tube power though.Most of them only hear how loud it sounds, and the rest of us hear everything else - :rolleyes:
-
I wouldn't bet against 'em.

At 83dB/W/M , I really doubt that.
edit 1: main page shows 86
edit 2: back to 83dB, as per owner's manual -
I believe Nelson and Pass Labs are working on a current speaker as well. Nelson started out working at ESS and IIRC, he was part of a design team that came up with the Heil tweeter or EMT............can't remember the model but what ever the first ESS tweeter was.
The speakers the OP is talking about got great reviews.

EDIT: Sorry the SR1 is the new speaker I was thinking of the Rushmore which was Pass Labs 1st speaker"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul! -
I don't know what NP was thinking but these speakers are very inefficient.
I think he wants to sell Bigger Pass Lab Amps with them.
And for $25000, they better looks cooler. I know beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but theoe towers don't look beautiful to me.Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin: -
The lowest woofer's efficiency is 89db, minus 6db for baffle step/crossover loss, and you're at 83db.I don't know what NP was thinking but these speakers are very inefficient.

To me, sexy means a little more curvy. Not a small cube stacked on a larger one.
But they definitely seems masculine to me. More manly (not Manley).
And they sure needs Manly Power such as this if they are really 83db. :eek:

Now, here is one (make it two) sexy mama I like to try!

Two dirt devils. Nice way to keep the house clean. -
I heard those dirt devils sound terrible."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

They look like elfs sitting with their knees bent.

They suck.:)I heard those dirt devils sound terrible.
Gentlemen! Now, there is nothing wrong with the curvy things suck. How they sound is entirely a different matter and depends on who and what is driving them from behind. Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:
