But those and BIC america are the only companies i can find online that still make that style speaker. Is there any other companies?
Gavin Gold Member Username: Gavdawg Albany, New York Post Number: 1415 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Monday, February 01, 2010 - 15:38 GMT not to my knowledge... most companies have moved away from manufacturing speakers of that style for the following reasons: 1) better fidelity with smaller drivers 2) size 3) cost 4) appearence you can find very large floorstanding speakers that have outstanding fidelity, but it will cost you! The B&W 802D comes to mind. Last time I checked, it was $12,000. But, I do believe KLH also makes speakers that are of the type you are looking for.

If they are in line with the Khorns I've seen, I couldn't imagine getting them down a flight of stairs, let alone back UP! In case of a trip / fall, the guy on the bottom would be crushed.
