Fair point.
I am still not buying a $2200 speaker just to do this test. I am also not one to buy one with the sole purpose of doing this test and then returning it. I think that is a huge abuse of their return policies if I have no intention of ever keeping it. I don't mind returning things that I thought I would use but it didn't work out, but I will not do this.
Thanks for not taking advantage of Crutchfield.
If they want to volunteer them though, maybe we ought to ask.
Anyway I have the M126be and have not measured them in a spin. (I moved and have a laundry list of projects before I could do that) Plus it would not be Klipple anyway.
Okay so the point is to my ear they sound very, very good. Actually magical. The sound is enormously addicting with a huge sense of space,scale and a huge sweet spot. I beleive all of these traits from the magic to big sweet spot are characteristics of a wide, even dispersion design using a nice quality tweeter&guide.
They are so vibrant and yet never brash or harsh - Again likely traits of a beautiful wider dispersion design.
I have discovered I greatly prefer this sound and the overall sound of this pair(easily picking the m126be over other great speakers despite reservations about high$)so someday I want to hear the BMR.
I can't send them in. I've sent a number of speakers in so far and have loved contributing that way and seeing he test results but there is a bit of a wait time and I can't part with these. Hopefully Erin or Amir will get a test set of both the M126be and new BMR.
