    Judging by the high scores of all but the BMR I'd have to say the people listening prefer hyper detail. Never heard the BMR though.

    Definitely could be they're something that wow off the bat but give listening fatigue over longer periods? I haven't read anything like that in any of the Joe schmo forum reviews but it could be true. Trying new stuff is always a gamble without in home demo. I don't believe Salk offers that. I'm pretty sure we have a member here with Salk speakers but his weren't RAAL they were soft domes if I recall.

    I have the SS8's in Black Limba with RAAL ribbon tweeters, ceramic Accuton midrange, two 8" woofers, 12" passive radiators. My end all speakers.

    The SS8 midrange has three options. Back completely blocked off (magnetic panels), open (a frame with speaker cloth), and partially filled or with no sound material stuffing.

    They were part of his SoundScape line but were changed to SS due to a conflicting trade name.

    I spoke with Jim a couple weeks ago. Salk retired and sold his shop equipment in an online auction. They were finishing the last of their orders.

    This is a Salk pic of what became my speakers. Black Limba was an added cost custom veneer.

    Oh man so salk is hanging it up. That leaves either prefab box through Dennis Murphy or used. I guess I spent too much time eyeing them and not enough acting.

    Saab has never been one for sexy lines and looks. That said, this one may get some "looks".

    There's one here in town (a 4 door, though, not a wagon).
    The earlier SAABs had two-stoke, 3-cyl engines to go with their front wheel drive.
    Here's a relatively late one (a '67 SAAB 96)

    The three generations of SAAB Sonetts were pretty cool vehicles, while still being idiosyncratic as heck.
    The Sonett 2 may be the best remembered of the three.

    The Sonett 3 was almost normal looking ;)

    EDIT: ooh, here's a pretty one, from a museum :) a '61 GT B)

    Oh, and it should be borne in mind that SAAB did have a higher-performance line, too. Pricier, though.

    The higher-priced SAABs definitely got better stylists working on 'em. :)

    My wife and I each had Saabs for several years, I had a 99 standard and she had a turbo 99 in black. That was a fun car!
