Buy a used pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars (either version) and compare. It’s got a 5.5” midwoof but goes lower than the Revivals (by measurements) and by all accounts moves more air than expected for their size. The bonus is you get that magical asymmetric crossover that delivers an expansive and effortless 3D soundstage and pulls off an amazing disappearing act few can match. Very easy to sell if you’re not blown away. Just one option FWIW.
Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver
Hi All,
Love to her recommendations on bookshelf speakers with a 7 inch woofer. I know I should not focus everything on driver size, but I would like a bookshelf that can move some air. Big sound. I currently own Revival Atalante 3.They have a nice 7 inch driver. Just shopping for possible upgrades. My room is 14' X 12'
Please share your best bookshelf speakers... High end only.
Cheers

@bunkertoy of course! compare them, find the links to specs, all that. |
You know me, I own Atalante 3 monitors and feel that anything you get would be, at best, a sideways move. When auditioning (and that's what you should be doing), give the new speakers time to break in and then put the Atalante 3 back in to have a better take on whether it's an actual improvement. All the best, |
My choice is always the Totem Mani II. Although the bass driver is 6 1/2”, there are two in an isobarik formation. I haven’t heard all the stand mounts out there, but nothing else comes close. With great stands and a proper amp they are excellent, and bass that’s matched by no one in the stand mount world. Well, except for those crazy expensive Wilson’s I listened to at the Audio Show last year. |
Thanks for the input everyone. I have lots of speakers to read up on. @nonoise I do love my Atalante 3's. I got the bug reading about the Trenner & Friedl ART speakers.... I could be possessing the best speaker for my modest system. Unless I go to new levels in gear maybe upgraded speakers won't change anything. Thanks again, always enjoy the input on here. my fave place to hangout. Cheers |
