I like speakers that sound average as close to live as possible. But that are very difficult things. I know. Every brand instrument sounds different, every musician has his own sound, how is it recorded, what did the sound ingeneer do? I am just talking about an average. That's the best one can do.

My guess it is new S series with improved driver arrangement as in Q, which perhaps they found superior in more recent developments - at least for larger speakers.

Willy you need to hear them under better circumstances. Believe me they are not as you described. There was something else seriously wrong when you heard them.

• Enclosure looks similar to S Series
• Driver arrangement similar to Project M and Q7.
• The woofers seem to be a new variety with shiny surface.
• The feet are similar to Project M's.

Is this the new S7 ? :banana:
