Monitors for a 240
"This looks very interesting 7" 3 way Raal great review and very good measurements: ... Philharmonic Audio BMR Philharmonitor" @georgehifi: very interesting indeed, thanks a bunch for the link - tho’ PA’s website says not accepting orders currently and apologizes for stall in processing existing orders. Hopeful that’s temporary. |
^ ok I see it now: Jim Salk has picked up production of the BMR since PA closed shop. Even at $2600 still looks like really good value: http://www.salksound.com/model.php?model=BMR+Monitors |
Looks like it could be a better finish, they are still both 32lb (14.5kg) each The more I read what the reviewer wrote and the measurements they give, these seem to be an absolute bargain, as a two way bookshelf has always had to compromise in some way, smaller 6" mid/bass meets the tweeters better but not great low bass, then an 8" better low bass but problems up high. This design gets it all for a great price. One of the best bookshelf’s I have heard with a Bat VK-76SE 6C33C tube up them, was the old 3 way 1990’s Acoustic Energy AE3 Mk1 version, (not the later Mk2 floor stander which is still very good).

Decision made.I ordered a pair of Salk SS 6Ms in December. I’ve had my Salk SS 6M’s now for about 6 weeks now and I love them as they are everything and more than I’d hoped for, to say nothing about the exceptional Salk fit and finish.
Salk StreamPlayer (Roon), Yggdrasil DAC, Macintosh MC-240 (re-caped) with modern tubes including 7581’s.
My listening room is 21’ x 23’ with a vaulted ceiling ranging from 9’ to 13’.
The SS 6M are setting on 22” Sound Anchors.
After much listening and experimenting I ended up with the SS 6Ms centered on the 21’ wall 28” from the wall, and 9’apart.
My listening position is 9’ from each speaker. |
