There is just something special about well implemented Field Coils. It's probably not a coincidence that the two best speakers I've ever heard (Shindo Latour and Lotus Granada) both incorporate Field Coils. Listening to my first Field Coil speaker was similar to listening to my first SET amp. There was this sense of immediacy that was spooky. It continues to amaze me that much of what we consider high end audio was originally developed 80+ years ago.

What's the sound difference between the Latour and 604? I'm guessing the 604 is their entry level. Thanks.

I have personally sold/installed dozens of Shindo speakers - A less pricey alternative would be other brands, of course. Not everyone can spend $29.9k, or more , on a pair of speakers, hence the appeal of $7,500 DeVore Nines or Orangutans O/96's, etc. Shindo doesn't make an 'entry level' speaker, per se, it depends on your associated equipment, listening style, preference, room dimensions, etc. -Matt Last edited by pitch perfect; 09-05-2011 at 05:32 PM.

I have a feeling that the latour cabinet appearance is off-putting to some.
