Magnepan MG3.7i (magnetic-planar), Sanders Model 10 (electrostatic), but only if you can place them well out into the room (3' minimum, 5' better), firing down the longer dimension of the room.
Organic, musical and natural sounding speakers up to $12K
Getting a new place next year. Living room will be approx 12-14ft x 16-18ft x 10ft.
Getting a new system and am starting with speakers. Brands I have shortlisted (recommended from magazines and forums) are:
1) Audionote J or E
2) Spendor (model ?)
3) Harbeth (model ? - perhaps 30.2/40.1 or ?)
4) Devore (0/93 or 0/96?)
I auditioned Audionote and Harbeth briefly a few years ago. If I recall, Audionote was organic, musical and natural. Harbeth SHL5 plus was natural and musical...but don’t remember if they were more organic than the Audionotes.
HF extension/air is definitely not a priority for I find it often translates to tizz to my ears. I love a large soundstage - big full sound!
With the 4 brands, am I heading in the right direction? Any feedback from users would be greatly appreciated. I am open to other brands too.
Thanks.
