LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ?

Hi,

I'm running a pair of VTL MB185 Mono Amps and I'm interested in replacing my speakers. I do like good imaging, but I also enjoy being able to listen to music with someone. That being said, does anyone have a suggestion for speakers that don't have a tiny sweetspot? (please don't say Bose Acoustimass, lol!) I've been reading about the Von Schweikert, Silverline and Avatar. Does anyone have an opinion on them or any other? I have about $3000.00 to spend on the used market.

Thansk!

New-Castle Howards.....Used-Gradient Revolutions.....both are designed to take the room out of the equation. Both are world class.

Acarians do that and are often synergistic w/VTLs. Cheers,

I can only compare Dynaudios with Von Schweikert and find the soundscape to be taller and wider with the VS with the speakers in the same footprint, and without loss of precise location of instruments and voices. I don't know how they do it.

I'll second that the VSA speakers have very good off-axis reproduction. In my stairwell off of the living room they still sound very good. This would be about 45 degrees off axis and four feet below.
