None, I'm just saying I'm down to digging 2-ways at least on that one trait. Not yet down to '1-ways.'

^ Thanks for the suggestion. Will definitely investigate. Just got back from a couple hours with Sonus Faber Venere 1.5 & Venere 2.0 bookshelves and Martin Logan Motion 15 bookshelves and the Motion 40 floorstanders. Course a million variables in the listening rooms, and maybe this is common knowledge, but its like the imagining gets less exact the more complicated the speaker design (there were several other traits which definitely improved). Haven't quite jumped in with the full-range single driver crowd (and I know the monitor rep), but judged solely on imaging the LS50s and Motion 15s were in the top three heard over the last 24 (including a few not mentioned). Course that's not everything and the listening rooms were far from ideal, but it was surprising to me. Not surprising: the Veneres were easy on the eyes.

Yes, they certainly were. Dealer said the R700s have been their best seller for the last couple years.

^Thanks. Still researching (and Sonus Faber's Veneres have been added to the list), but spent a couple hours listening to KEF LS50s, R300s, and R700s (which all have Uni-Qs) today. I don't know really the price point competition, but damn, the R700s sounded great. If my space was different I'd probably head straight there (or R500s). Back to bookshelves, the 3-way R300s and 2-way LS50s sounded pretty different on the same system. Suspect most would prefer the fuller, dare I say more natural sounding, R300s, but the positioning on the LS50s was really great (and probably my preference). Pick your poison.

Tickles?

I have one of the Unicomps, which I love and would use daily, but it sits in the garage as I live with other people. Someday it will resurface and the clickity-clack sound will once again fill the air.

Most are.
