The Nola KO is a great choice. In fact I just took a pair out of my main system that I need to crate up. Last time I talked to Carl there was no KO stocking dealer in Florida. Mostly Boxers and Contenders with the rest of the line as special order. Also put in a call to Mike Bovaird at Suncoast Audio in Sarasota. He may not have anything you are interested in but can point you in the right direction. He is also one of the principals behind the first Florida Audio Expo coming up in Tampa in February so a lot of contacts in the area.
Another Speaker Recommendation Request
Greetings Goners,
Just retired and have my new dedicated listening room. Bonus room above garage; 15' wide, 24' deep, 8' ceiling, drywall and carpeted. No WAF to consider. I am all digital with PS Audio kit: BHK stereo 250 amp, BHK pre-amp, Direct Stream DAC and Direct Stream Media Player. Also have Cambridge Audio CXN for streaming and NAS.
Current speakers are Wharfedale Jade 3 stand mounts with HSU subwoofer. Worked well in the previous home, but looking to upgrade. I don't need concert hall performance. I will crank it up on occasion, but mostly solo mid and low level listening. Would like full range floor standers and possibly loss the subwoofer.
Most important attributes for me would be non-fatiguing and imaging. Looking in the $10k range and prefer new vs used. Have considered Spendor D7, PSB Imagine T3 and Focal Electra 1028BE. And shops to demo in Tampa St. Pete area would be appreciated. Thanks!
