consider the totem, although i believe they are more jazz oriented than most....one you left out that i have been impressed with is the old jm labs , now focal, 918 model, they get no respect, but if you listen to them awhile you will find out they are a steal at their price...good listening..
Need advice on which speakers I should audition?
Hi everyone, need a little help getting a list together on which speakers I should audition!
I have been in this audiophilia for many years now, and have heard and personally owned many speakers, but haven't listened to anything new lately! I am speakerless as of right now and all my equipment is boxed and put away, as I am finishing my rec/sound room in my basement! My room will be 14'x 21' x 7-6"
ceilings. I like most music except opera and rap, my favorite is hard rock/metal and blues! I am looking for a full range floor stander possibly bi-ampable?
I own different equipment but for this system, I will be using Quicksilver mini-mono amps, SAS 10A pre, and Original A8 Super CDP! am open to using S.S. amp/amps to drive woofers if needed!
Budget for speakers is up to $3000, but if something cheaper does it for me, I have no problem with that.
Speakers I have owned in the past were: Magnats, Scientific Fidelity Tesla's, Martin Logan CLSII's, Vandersteen 2ce, Cerwin-Vega 317P
Below is a list of speakers I made up just from good things I a have heard ...have not listened to any yet except the Thiel CS2.4 for a short time! Obviously some of these speakers won't be synergistic with my current equipment and some of these speakers are not available in my area, so you can see why I need a little help and advice!
I'd like to get a reasonable list together, maybe you can add to , delete or recommend some that are on my list!
Revel F12
Totem Sttaf, or Hawk
Salk Sound Song Tower QWT
VMPS RM2
Energy Reference Connoisseur RC-70
PSB Imagine T, or Synchrony Two
Epos M22i
Usher CP-6311
Dynaudio Focus 220
Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand
Spendor S8e
Thiel CS2.4
JM Reynaud Euterpe
Thanks for your help!
