I believe Boomarang has the Morel's and a few months back they even had a pair of Usher Mini Dancer's.So the best option would be to check up with Grattan at 9820949395 and fix an audition.

I've heard the Morel at Boomarang and felt that it is special. The sound totally belies its pipsqueak of a size. I had never heard, or though possible, that a tiny bookshelf could cover the full freq range, but this one goes right down to 20Hz.

On Friday, I had gone to Boomarang to fix new bananas and spades on my "new" speaker cables (it's another story that the inner side of bananas were too small for the shotgun twist of the bi-wirable cable, and I ended up with something Gratin fixed gratis - great gentleman). I got talking with Gratin and he showed me what he had in stock. That's when I saw the Be-718 of which I'd heard so much about but never auditioned. I didn't want to bother him with an audition since I had not gone for that purpose. So my question was of an academic nature. I am not buying new speakers anytime soon My Cadence Amayas had been massaged at the factory in Pune a few months ago and they sing rather well:lol:, especially with the new speaker cables and IC.

For those who might be interested, he also had a KT-88 tube based Cayin integrated, a very fancy Yamaha integrated (A1000 or AS1000), and an even fancier Esoteric CD spinner.

Try to listen to ATC SCM19. I think Morel is nowhere compared to ATC. I had at least 3 audition of Morel but never felt anything special even after listening on Accuphase E-350. Just average sound.

A 7 kg bookshelf loudspeaker doing this ;

40-18,000Hz 1.5 dB

Morel Octave Signature Bookshelf speaker

40hz at + - 1.5db is an amazing feat for a 40kg floorstander !
