Looking for some new floor standing speakers
@jrpnde - I realize that the OP says under $5K that is why I said a tad over his price range. I paid $5K for mine. What do you think he can find in that price range that is suggested above to compete with them, sound as good as them, and have multiple adjustments to bu9ildt into the speakers to integrate with his room? I was just a suggestion my friend. Plus resale value is way better that most anything suggested above. Happy Listening |
Here's what makes the GE Triton 1r the perfect speaker for you. If you want bass and the ability to control it, these speakers each have their own 1600 watt Class D amplifiers dedicated to controlling base. And the bass is adjustable, tight, and of high quality. What makes these speakers nice is that they have an spl of 92 db making them easy to drive, especially since the class D amps take care of the bass. This allows you to go with a low powered tube setup up front adding to the quality of sound. I'm using them with a pair of 50 w Cary Six Pack mono blocks and a Primaluna dialogue preamp. Absolutely love the sound. Prices have gone up a bit since they were introduced but you may luck out and find a used pair in your price range. J.Chip |
My first pick would be a pair of SALK Song3 Encore's for $6,000. They sound better than a pair of $20,000 speakers at RMAF. Jim Salk sells direct and by passes the dealer wholesale discounts and as a result uses expensive drivers. They are incredible. That Paradigm Persona for $7,500 is also a great speaker. However, for $6,000, the SALK's are incredible. |
