Martin Logan Montis seems to be available for $5K used for even brand new. > Love the sound of them at that price.They were $10K new a few years ago. Read the reviews.
Speaker recommendation
I’m looking to buy a speaker in the $4000-5000 range. I was very impressed with the GoldenEar Trton 1 speaker I heard at a friend’s house, and I know the Tekton DI is very well thought of on this forum.
I listen to mostly classical music, some Diana Krall and the like, and also big band music.
Any other suggestions?

Ditto + to Martin Logan Montis I am happy with my present speaker which is out of reach to most people (new price was 55K 11years ago) But if the speaker stop working, I may go back to planar speaker Martin Logan is very musical and suitable for classical music. The only catch is that you need big space. |
I had a set of B&W N803 for about 5 years, and N805 before those. I auditioned the Double Impact, and found them to be good, with nice soundstage, but not really smooth across various frequency ranges. I felt there was a bit of "suck out" in mid bass. I sent them back. They did have a nice "live" sound, and I think they are good for the price... but not the giant killers others have suggested. Then I got a set of F208s, and I think they are extremely smooth and flat response across almost all FRs. I'm very happy with them, and have sold my B&Ws. I've had them for about a year. A few audiophile friends have listened to them, and have been very impressed. IMO, they are a step up from the B&Ws, and a solid improvement over the DIs. I think the Revels are a good choice for you. |
I auditioned several speakers today, including the Revel F208, the Focal Aria and B&W 702, but I selected the GoldenEar Triton 1 as suiting my taste the best. It had a transparency and bass fullness the others lacked. I’m trying them out in my home before I make a final decision. Again, thank everyone for you suggestions. |
http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/goldenear-triton-one-loudspeaker/?page=4 I went through the spec of GoldenEar Triton One and it looks very good. Good luck to you! I got the feeling that it will go by well with Tube amplification. It will be nice if you can audition the speaker at your home with Rogue Cronus Magnum II. |
