Speaker List narrowed down…
This is the final post in a follow up to my two previous posts of “Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker” and “My wife weighed in she wants piano white tower/bookshelf “
Details:
Price range - below $25k
Color: Flexible now but Aesthetics count as it’s a centerpiece to our new gathering room
Also, the only source will be a turntable - Macintosh MT-10 and MP-100 (to be purchased and that’s it), amp is the Rose hifi RS 520 which is 250 wpc and I value the mid-range.
I have pictures of my room but no idea how to post (audiogon clearly hasn’t updated their technology from 30 years ago).
Final Choices with notes:
Fyne Audio 8 (new) or 10 used
Estalon Aura (but too close to wall an issue?),
Reynaud Abscisse Jubilee (beautiful how’s the midrange?)
YG Acoustics 3, (Looks nice narrow baffle)
PS Audio FR20 or 10, (even the 10may be too big)
Perilstein S7T.
Focal Sopra 3
THOUGHTS?
Try to audition the Von Schweikert Endeavor SE Speakers. They are a superior choice to the speakers you mention. They are also within the price range. They are reference level speakers. But keep in mind you'll need good speaker cables. Von Schweikert sells cables that are the same as the internal wiring. Good cables and synergy |
@motta +1 on Von Schweikert. I have the walnut version of the Endeavor. They are rear ported, though. I think it was mentioned that they needed to be close to the wall unless I'm getting posts confused. I don't think they would need to pulled way out into the room, but pushed against the wall would not be ideal |
