SP technology speakers

There's a lot of jumping up and down and hyperbole over at AC about these and the super duper new X'overs being offered (for super duper prices) anyone have any ear-knowlege about these or thoughts? Sounds too good to be true. Haven't we all heard about the Ultimate killer product before? and before that...

I don't suppose you want to ask me about 'em, huh? :wink:
Seriously, though, only a precious few have heard the new crossover components, but those who have happen to be people I trust. That puts me in a position unique to most, allowing me to be more confident than ever that my purchase of "Full Monty" Revelations is money well-spent.
FWIW, if you read Scott Black's review of the Revelations, you'll notice he's owned and heard a lot of great speakers, and yet he believes the Revelations are the last speakers he'll ever buy. Throw in a few choice comments from renowned speaker-hater Jim Merod -
--- Quote --- "I despise speakers. I love microphones ... all microphones, because -- if you know what you're doing -- each microphone,
no matter what, is useful in a set of special applications.
"I count the number of speakers I've used, heard, and reviewed that earn my complete respect on one hand . . . less than five fingers.
"I've never heard a speaker that reproduces all the music --
all the ambient information I strive to capture in my recordings
-- until I heard SP TECH's 'Revelation MR-1' . . . I'll not relent until, with their shocking nakedness, they are locked into place as monitoring companions here at BluePort Sound."

...and legendary amp designer Steve McCormack (recently told a perspective purchaser that he'll own a pair of Revelations as soon as he can afford them) and you have to begin to wonder if it might be true. The Steve McCormack anecdote was offered me by the formerly "prospective" purchaser himself, and since speaking w/ Steve he's ordered a pair of "Full Monty" Revelations, a "Full Monty" Continuum for use as a center channel and a pair of "standard" Continuums as surrounds. And this by a guy who has never heard an SP Technology speaker!!! :shock:
All I know is that they're the best speakers *for me and my tastes* that I've ever heard, and they've gone through 3 separate improvements since I last heard them. And that's not including the most recent crossover component changes.
Anyway, like I said... you probably don't want to ask me. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

nahh...I knew I didn't have to! This is a serious serious serious problem for the budget conscious amongst us. (read "10 years prison for attempted bank robbery. Senior citizen was apprehended with a soap carved knife at a local bank. The teller related that he was babbling about some obscure fetish object called SP Revelation, with tears streaming down his face. As he was taken in for treatment one witness remarked a light blue tea shirt with the words Audio Nervosa on it. It is not yet know what significance this might have but it is thought to represend some little known cult suspected of similar acts throughout the universe"

Hearing is believing....but many never get the chance.

Well, I have Timepieces ordered (with the old cosmetics, but the new(er?) Mundorf xover). It's not the "full Monty" that Jim is getting, but quality somewhere in between. I'm really looking forward to it and maybe they'll be here in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping to hear a big difference................... :)
