So starting with the speakers, if I recall correctly all of your systems use multi-driver arrays in sophisticated enclosures; the Aida’s, XRT-2K, XCS2K, XRT-27’s in the theater(s), TAD Reference One, Ariel Acoustics V20-something, Canton Ref 3,5; Bryston Model T’s - and everything that went before them.
Whew - Tom stops to take a sip of his G&T.
How about something completely different, speaker wise?
Electrostatics? Too finicky with placement and subwoofer integration. Narrow sweet spot. Nope.
Planar dynamics - small sweet spot, finicky placement, challenging subwoofer integration. Nope.
Single driver lowther-type loudspeakers - just no.
So by process of elimination that leaves the MBL Radialstrahler MBL 101 X-Treme.
You’ll need a bit of space for these, I think, but if you want something really different this is the right place to start.
