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!
Best of luck to you both in the future I miss my JSE Infinite Slope Model 2’s, they are Uniquely Remarkable I put info about them on this site JSE Model II, seller will ship from Texas I would have my woodworker put a select veneer on them like they always deserved.

Speaker selection is so subjective and in your price range. There's so many superlative speakers out there to choose from between 20K and 100K. You've got a good idea of what great speakers are out there on the market in your price range. Go listen to as many speakers as you possibly can. That's the only way. Happy listening. |
For imaging, sound stage, realism, and great bass look into Charney Audio. Depending on your room size no sub will be needed. I have the Companions with Voxativ AF 2.6 drivers. They are a 6” driver in my 11x15x8 room with accurate deep bass, sweet engaging midrange and great highs. Vocals are off the charts! Listening to Holly Cole, Janis Ian, Diana Krall, Ella, Lady Blue,…is your own private concert! So much I can write about but let your ears make the decision!

Incorrect...a luxman c900u + m900u will drive any speaker at any price and can salvage many a undeserving turd posing as a high end speaker ( make it sound a whole lot better than it should). Boulder or Gryphon never knew how to design an amp better than Luxman. A heavier and a fancier looking chassis never meant a better amp.
