So I just got an email that Equator announced their new D8 monitors. They are a coaxial design like the D5 set. They are selling for $777 a pair.

Hello All,

After months of adamant user requests for a bigger D5, the D8 is a reality.

The New Equator D8 maintains the mid-range detail and integrity of the D5 but provides a higher SPL output and an extended low frequency response. It features an 8' coaxially designed woofer with a 1' silk tweeter mounted in the center of the woofer. The exacting cabinet size and the 2 1/2' tuned port are designed to be extremely accurate as well as move some air.

Like the D5, the D8 features a coaxial design with internal DSP. The coaxial designed transducers deliver a phase and time accurate response with minimal mid-range phase distortion. The DSP matches each D8 to a standard output curve insuring impeccable imaging. The system delivers an accurate response from 44Hz to 20kHz. They play loud reaching 106 dB SPL (combined).

Our online direct list price is $777 per pair. ETA is June 28th. Pre-orders are being accepted.

These seem like they would be pretty cool!

Interesting. I love my D5s. Those would be overkill for my small room though. I've never had any trouble managing low end with my D5s either.
