Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
So, I am getting rid of the wife (divorce, I am not burying her in the backyard!) and can now get big floor standing speakers. I currently have a Luxman integrated and model 30 Harbeth speakers, and a very good sub. Very neutral/natural sound, can listen for long sessions. But I don't get a very good image, and it seems a little too laid back. I listen mainly to singer-song writers, both male and female. Lots of acoustic/piano.
There are so many floor standers now, I'd like to shorten the list. Any suggestions to start my search? I am located in southern CA, so I can listen to almost any brand. Price should be under $100K.
I may lose a wife, but so far the freedom/cash is worth it.
Thanks all!

When I searched for my first high end speakers, I listened to the best I could find at audio shows (AXPONA, Pacific Audio Fest (Seattle, WA), T.H.E. Show (LA)) and brink and mortar stores. After finding the sound I like, then tried to reproduce it within my budget. First create a list of the latest high-end speakers you'd like to demo like from Stereophile's Recommended Components and The Absolute Sound magazine's Editors Choice Awards (past issues: March 2024, November 2024). Pick out demo CDs/Vinyl, then go to high-end audio stores and shows. I've visited/demoed many high-end audio stores in the Los Angeles area by Googling "high end audio". |
