Have you heard the Grimms or are you saying based on the spec. I have heard them and not close to an audiophile consideration set. They will give Bang and Olufsen a run for their money. Not impressed by Avantgarde Zero either.
Another option:
BD-Design/Phasure Orelo speakers (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?board=24.0)
- fully active
- open baffle
- 118dB/w@1m coaxial mid/high horn
- 3x 15" (semi horn-loaded) bass drivers per channel
- Hypex DSP
- Fletcher-Munson curves in-built
- less than $30K (the last time I looked)
I own a pair and they are easily the best speakers I've ever heard. Period.

I.still don't think you get it. Linn is relatively much cheaper and disposable, and the trinnov plus amp plus two speakers is as minimal in terms of boxes. So we are are not debating those characteristics at all. There are other active speakers like Adam, and you can use OB or box speakers or horns. So you.lose none of the advantages offered by the Kyron, just gain a few more
how does it sound?
how does it sound compared to systems costing the same?
Does anything else matter
Spirited Marc does not only want to compare the sound, but thinks a minimal box DSP system has advantages. So I am just providing one-two box DSP alternatives at a lower cost, which should sound better (in theory, as I noted before) because the speakers/amps are tailored to the buyer's choice rather than the designer's, not to mention they are also changeable and resellable
Moreover, given how much Spirit values service, the Trinnov speaker system will have local service
Mani, I think you are referring to these. But they are bigger than yours. Have also heard the one at Peter's (Phasure designer) http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showt...BD-Oris-Horns-Netherlands&highlight=horn+porn
