Best Floorstanding Speakers Buyers Guide 2023 !

Happy to see my Sasha DAWs are on the list. I saw and heard the Acora speakers last year at Axpona. They sound great. I can still recall their amazing bass inside that giant sized show room. The Acoras were one of my top two favorite speakers at the show last year. The other speaker was a three way horn type driven by an SET amp and a Lampizator DAC. Couldn’t pull myself away.

First glance at the Acora speakers in this large room at Axpona my thought was this room will be uninteresting. These diminutive speakers looked swallowed up by the room. Then the music started and I was captivated. They energized that large room with ease. Looking at their size and hearing the music they were making was baffling. They defied my ingrained expectations based on decades of experiences.

Btw- Acora’s website says the cabinets are made from granite. Maybe they say granite because it is a more commonly recognized word.

"Buyers Guide"?

They could have just printed a sign: "Exit" so 99% of buyers that by accident or misguided ventured 'in' there can get the hell out quickly.

Before they collapse in a laughing attack from seeing people actually spending such nutty amounts on equipment (a whole INDUSTRY is milking those fools). 

No Rockport speakers in this buyers guide?! Blasphemous ! 

"The Acora cabinets are made from gabbro, not granite."

... According to the Acora Acoustics website, the SRC-2 loudspeakers are made from granite.

That’s “granite “ from the stone business as in countertops. In a scientific classification, the cabinets are not granite per se. Lots of stuff gets called “granite “ that isn’t.

The stonework is Impeccable. But the name matters in terms of understanding acoustic proportions as the materials are different.
