Great review, I enjoyed reading it.
They are beautiful and I am sure they have many very strong attributes, such as tone, realizm, energy, but to summarize:
somewhat directional speaker
takes forever to break in
not plug and play, take care to set up
bit tubby in the bass
they have a bit of a shout
they cost $20k
likely limited to mid sized rooms, Latours are better choice for large rooms
That’s what gets me about speakers….you can pay a lot and still dont get it all..
Sounds like to me the better all around winner is….the Devore 096, and at half the cost. No its not a Shindo, but its a wonderful alternative.
