Audio Nirvana makes several sizes of full range drivers with either Ferrite, Neodymium, or Alnico magnets. I auditioned the 15" Neodymiums this past Monday. They were driven by an Audio Nirvana tube amp (11 watts per channel), engineered specifically with full range speakers in mind. The cabinets were large, veneered MDF, 5.6 cu. ft. bass reflex boxes.

There's a pretty accurate assumption among Hi-Fi hobbyists and audiophiles that all Hi-Fi products are a trade-off in some area. "No product has it all, so suck it up and be willing to live with the strengths and weaknesses." These Audio Nirvanas challenge and defy that assumption. Natural, natural, natural, natural. I know it's cliche, but the listener is in the room with the musicians. Especially on vocals and acoustic instruments (where most speakers have some degree of difficulty), the realism is uncanny. Plenty of bass extension, a deep and wide soundstage, imaging, texture, timbre, it's there in all it's natural beauty and splendor.

The Audio Nirvanas I listened to have moved to the front of the class. I honestly can't think of a single criticism or flaw sonically. There are no trade-offs or compromises. Their only downside might be the size of the cabinet required to achieve the right balance of bass. Spouse units will just have to adjust.

Caution. If you get a chance to hear these, be prepared to change your standards of what good Hi-Fi should sound like. If I were Audio Nirvana owner David Dicks, I'd be very tempted to barnstorm the country, challenging all comers to comparison listening, and betting on the outcome. I've not heard any speakers at any price that could beat them.
