have you ever listened to Merlin? I would also consider Dunlavy sc IV,V or VI's.
12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers; help
Associated equipment:
ARC amp & preamp; VPI table W/Soundsmith; Cary SACD; Magnum Dynalab tuner; Nordost cables; Silverline Sonatina II speakers
Performance preferences:
Non fatiguing; able to handle the dynamics of classical orchestra; articulate (it would be great to understand what Ricky Lee Jones is singing); bass to 40Hz
Listening preferences:
I grew up in New Orleans in the 50's; went to college in the 60's; worked for the opera in the 70's; & have worked in a modern jazz club since the 80's
I listen to old R&B; psychedelic rock; modern jazz; some classical & Broadway.
The system is setup in a smallish room (12w x 14l x 10h) dedicated to 2 channel stereo. The speaker need to be on the 12' wall.
There are only two local high end dealers so there are few speakers to audition. I travel some & am willing to audition away from home.
Your input is greatly appreciated.

Heres another option to take a look at ScanSpeak B741 And yes I do make them in case you don't want to take on the endeavor yourself :-) Good Listening Peter |
My room is not in danger of the bass overloading. The room is the second room in a double parlor separated by 8'h x 10'w pass through. I don't need to spend $10k; that would be my absolute limit. I would like to spend less. My local guys handle Martin Logan, PSB, Harbeth, Magnepan. I'm really sorry I missed the show in Denver. I'll be in the DC are in January & hope to hear the NOLA Contender & Joseph Audio Pulsars. Thanks for all the recomendations. |
