It seems like you have enough power so no more versatile and bang-for-the-buck manufacturer as Magnepan.
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
I really like my speakers but I am considering an upgrade. I have B&W 801 S2 MkIII that I bought new in 1999 (re-coned with modded x-over). I’m afraid that what I get will not equal them and new may just be different.
They are bi-amped with McIntosh up top and Krell on the bottom. Analog is Revox B77 and dig is Oppo 105D with Bryston DAC3.
I will also likely upgrade the DAC but this thread is about speakers.
I need a dynamic loudspeaker that is as good with chamber music as it is with acoustic jazz, rock and electronic music (everything but Country and Rap).
I haven’t heard anything yet but am considering Borrersen X3, Wilson Sasha and B&W 803 D4.
Should I be afraid or will these speakers all best a 25 yr old design?

@mapman A perfect analysis! |
Give yourself permission to change. I’d bet your taste in ice cream is different than it was 25 years ago - who knew coconut could be so good? And I’m guessing you’d buy a different suit today, even if the old ones still fit! So I’d recommend listening to different types of speakers and systems - I’m amazed how great some single driver speakers sound these days. Florida Audio show is in February. And Soundlux Audio in Miami has great stuff. These speakers may be your last, so have fun. |
