O why did I buy a pair of Tannoys last week!?
Oh well. They sound killer

Regarding loudspeakers, most of us are dumb as sh*t - especially in relation to a world leading authority like Jay. Love him, hate him, or something in between, he is among a very few individuals who are the last word on everything loudspeaker.
Based on some of the loudspeaker solutions that some folks on this forum rave about it is reasonable to assume that their ears haven't been well trained... ....or maybe even suck as you put it!
If it's designed by Jay it will be co-axial - that's what he does. If it's designed by Jay and built to his specifications it will sound as good as the monitor that I played through last year. If the new Atomic is designed by Jay and built to his specifications, you will be getting the most transparent FRFR system available at any cost. You will hear exactly what you program into the Axe. The monitor will do it's part of the job without getting in the way.
If the new Atomic is designed by Jay and built to his specifications you might as well get two and sell your studio reference monitors as well. You're about to hear what you've been missing.
Bold talk I know. I have the advantage of having played through a Jay Mitchell co-axial monitor. It's FRFR like you've never heard before.
Mhhh... I believe it won't be a 3,000$ cabinet. Hence the sound won't be as good as the monitor you've tried. Not even Mr. Mitchell (whom knowledge I esteem a lot) is able to make a 1,000 $ loudspeaker sound as good as a 3,000 $ one.If it's designed by Jay it will be co-axial - that's what he does.

I agree they might sound better that other LSs of the same price range tho.
As for the ban, and Atomic having left the building... please people, let's not start another religion war!
But I remember Jay saying something along the lines like he thought even his $3,000 speaker was overkill for a guitar application... Maybe for half that price he can design something that could kick competitor's asses. I hope so, as I'm hugely interested in this FRFR monitor.Mhhh... I believe it won't be a 3,000$ cabinet.

That's wiseI'll reserve an judgement until I hear it for myself.
I am reserving a full on opinion until I've tried it firsthand - that's how I work.
However, I am going to do anything and everything I can to ensure that I will be trying it firsthand.
Firstly, let me say I'm also very intrigued by this new Atomic product. Secondly, I'm not very educated regarding Jay Mitchell and his theories etc., but I understand he's a big speaker guru here on the forum. However, I also read that he was banned from this forum by Cliff Chase himself..? .
I predict it's going to be exorbitantly expensive... but I'm interested in seeing what happens.
