I had high hopes for their supposed return to the high end. With what were they driving it? Not to be an apologist, but many shows just don't do [fill in the blank] components well.

Here's mine... The Von Schweikert VR-11, AKA "the Vanquish"
http://www.vonschweikert.com/vr11/vr11_LG.jpg
I am sure I will never be able to afford them at about $165K/pr., but I do love listening to them. :-)

Well, look what the cat dragged in. Good to see ya Dave.
...and, yes, the VR-11 are pretty amazing. Let's both keep playing the lottery.

"Box speaker"

On the other hand, I'd love to try full-range ribbons. Florian's Apogee Grandes would be fabulous but won't fit in my listening room. A realistic alternative might be these Analysis Omegas

Come to think of it, there are a few "box speakers" I could probably settle for. One might be this Kharma Ceramique 3.2.2 (for my current listening room)

very nice one, heard Kharma once, I will never forget that moment.
unfortunately, they are 'pretty' expensive :)
What about a pair of Avalons for your listening room?
Keep them spinning,

For my dream (and for me FUN) speaker I was going to show the new JBL Everest but Filecat 13 beat me too it. No, I don't think it is the best speaker (the top Wilson Alexandria is probably better but I wouldn't want it unless I lived in a flying saucer). However, the Everest has one thing that just gets the old ticker pumping and that is dynamic range. Yes the Wilson has it but it is out of my price range. On certain sources it is just essential for real world reproduction. For my dream/fun speaker I'll give up the slight edges in other characteristcis for a system like the Everest with that explosive realism.
It's spec of 96dB's and RMS power handling of 500 watts give it the same output that a superior sounding system with a 84dB's spec (no grand names here) would need 8000 watts RMS to achieve the same output levels. No, I wouldn't use it to listen to my string quartet recordings but for knocking my friends and neighbirs on there ass it would be my choice if money was no object.
Anyway that aside, I picked a ported speaker that has beautiful speaker cloth and a very nice lower end as well as dual mids and explosive highs. Although she actually lip-synced the song she sang as the "Obama Girl" she is an actress as well as a model so I know she is an articulate speaker. She certainly gets my amplifier going. Amber Lee Ettinger is my choice for my "dream speaker."

I believe you already own a similar type?

Nice, um driver alignment and acoustically transparent grill cloth. Probably has excellent bottom end response to match the top. :)

Got a bit of double vision there. :) Seriously, sometimes the website seems to go off in the weeds during a post and I'm not sure if it was successful. Oops.

Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any distraction in this thread. However, it seems obvious that some of you like the see through horn type speakers. This speaker from Ferguson Hill, the model FH001, might fit the bill. It needs a base unit and sub below 150Hz. I feel a little horny just looking at it.

Dude i know what you mean but we all been there when we come in from a heavy night off drinking and you got your speakers in your house in the room and your eyes are seen double vision you think your speaker is a meter away but then you start to feel something japping your thigh and the next minute your speaker as fallen over thats what i mean by fragile and weak ;)
