Hi G Sq. I didn't list other candidates because all speakers have tradeoffs and I wanted to focus on possible reasons whether or not to remove the 888 from my list.

The real question is what am I looking for? My basics are accurate musical tone, bass extension to about 40 Hz, at least average to broad dispersion, cabinet less than 12" wide (888 and some fail this), price hopefully < $5K.

Then, others on my list = Philharmonic BMR Tower, PS Audio Aspen FR 5, and Totem Bison Twin Tower.

Thanks for any further thoughts.

I've only heard th BMRs. They sounded very nice and I think they meet your criteria. I bought a pair of Dennis Murphy modded Pioneer monitors. He lives near me. A nice and interesting guy.

If I had to choose unheard, I'd go with the Philharmonic BMR Tower - John Marks 13:07:08 11/06/24 (0)
I get the vibe that his speaker building is a labor of love.

FWIW & YMMV... but they do have an MBG, right?
