I'd go active ATC SCM 20 and a 0.1/12 sub in an appartment. The Cellos were used in mastering - they have a 3 inch dome midrange - the ATC's 3" dome is probably the highest regarded dome midrange out there and has the same studio pedigree (used by Telarc). Keep the palette - if she likes it then nothing else wil lcome close.
replace a full Cello System?
an open question, and your comments are highly regarded...
I have a family friend with a Cello system (Palette, Performance II Amps, PS, Stradivari Speakers, strings). Its a monster system and she likes it. However, she has moved and believes the system is too big for her now. Given the current quality of her gear, can anyone suggest a 2009 approach to the following listener needs...(I know its subjective and apples/oranges, but please humor me)
- full sound, high definition
- power not as important (small apartment)
- speakers can't be huge
- she likes the palette, is there another pre that has parametric eq out there?
- CDs will be primary source, need input for one or two more sources in the future
- need to be able to pay for the new equipment with the sale of the old (preferably with money to spare)
I'm afraid I've been out of the game so long I'm not sure of a starting point. Any suggestions toward a solution would be helpful. thanks.
