Hello everyone, I have just about finished reading every single post in the statement thread. Only a couple more pages to go, it's easy to get lost in there. Yesterday I received 4 tang bands and 4 Dayton woofers (yay). I'm waiting for a payment before I order the tweeters and crossover components. I have a few questions. I have noticed people comparing these to very highend speakers, how would they hold up against the B&W 800 series like the 802D? How about the LW Orion?
One worry I have is that what I have read on ribbons is they are best to be listened to on axis at ear hight. Obviously the statements were designed to be listened to off axis and people seem extremely happy with them. I have not heard or read about the vertical dispersion of the fountek. I do about 90% of my listening standing up doing things, like cooking. I'm not at all questioning my choice of design, I'm committed, but just curious if another design would have met my listening styles better.
