Best speaker in the $4-6k range.


I am trying to find a speaker that will work well with my KRELL components. I am currently using a pair of B&W N-803's and they tend to be a bit fatiguing at times.

Essentially, what I would like to find is a pair capable of handeling high spl's (much like my previous N-802s), but, with a more liquid upper midrange and sweeter less glaring highs. Used is Okay.

My room is 14'6' by 22' and is open to the dinning room kitchen area on one side with 8'cellings.

By any chance Dynaudio Contour 3.3s or Talon Audio Korus meet my criteria?

Thanks in advance,

Damon

I agree with subaruguru on the revel's over the aerial's. There are many speakers out there that are more musical than the aerials for less money. If you are going to keep the krell, listen to the revel, totem, sonus faber, and joseph line of speakers, all very musical and highly rated.
What cables are you using? I have heard to stay away from silver cables with Krell. Are there any room acoustics in place? Even the best system in an untreated room equals mediocre at best. I have N802 with Krell and they are hardly bright at all, just very real and musical. Good luck.
I would say the best route for you to go is to try a new cable. What are you using now? Try to find a dealer that will let you do some in home demos. Also check out the usedcable.com lending library. I am not a big Krell fan I always felt they were a little krisp wjich may be a bi product of speed. Try a laid back cable before you plunge into new speakers.
