+1 Magico A3, -1 Focal Kanta 2
New speaker suggestion
Hello, I am looking at upgrading my speakers and want to spend about $10-12k new or used. While the speakers I have now sound real nice, I want more detail and wider soundstage, all that fun stuff. My system is as follows:
Paradigm 95F speakers
REL S5 sub
PASS X150.8 amp
PASS XP 17 preamp
PASS XP12 phono preamp
VPI Classic 3 Signature turntable
Hana ML cartridge
Aurender N100SC streamer
Chord Cutest DAC
Shunyata Denali 6000 v2 conditioner
Nordost Heimdall2 for all power and interconnects.
Thank you for your time and suggestions

In that range I’d listen to the Audiosolutions Figaro L. They look very substantial and well made. Also, I have a thing for D’Appolito Midranges. AudioSolutions Figaro L speakers Review - Dagogo Although the "masses" think they are "bright", My B&W 804D3 have a cavernous soundstage, oodles of detail and have unbelievable dynamic contrast. These are in your range as well. And, unless you have a monster SS amp, do require some subwoofer support. |
Magnepan 3.7i's then if you want to spend a little more, Sound Labs 545's Dipole speakers limit room interaction and these two speakers punch way above their price point. They will open up a whole new world of imaging and articulation missing in dynamic speakers costing many times more. Both benefit greatly with subwoofers which you already have. If you use a two way subwoofer crossover the Sound Labs will hit volume levels unheard of from an ESL. The Maggie will play loud but not concert loud. If you want to blow your doors off these are not your speakers. |
