@soundermn @vingard and others who have slammed @audiotroy for offering his opinions. I just got off the phone with Dave and had a very nice and friendly hour-long chat. I've experienced most if not all of the NYC/tri-state area audio dealers and I assure all of you, Dave is not one of them. After spending 30 minutes on the phone with him, he actually directed me to a speaker he thought was on sale on Agon! As someone who is trying to go and audition speakers with limited time, there is knowledge that I can't possibly expect to glean because I don't have the time to acquire it. When you've been doing something as long as Dave and Troy have (combined 70 years of experience) in a hobby that is incredibly subjective, their opinions are valid, and they deserve a right to have them and post them freely, unless of course there are clear rules against that sort of thing. However, @soix was probably right to call Dave out for bashing his recommendation, maybe that wasn't cool, but I can also respect that Dave feels that the AZ's aren't offering as much value as what he's recommending. I will give Dave my time (although maybe not my hard-earned money) because I think he will open my ears up to some things I wouldn't have otherwise heard. Cheers to all and thanks for being passionate about great sound. ~Lance
Speaker recomendation
I just bought a second home and the room where the new system will go is quite large (60’x20’) with a wall of windows. I’m looking for a pair of speakers that will be more for listening in position close to the system but that can still move enough air for when we have lots of people over. Budget is about $10-15K for an amp and speakers. I have a Moon 340i but fear it doesn’t have enough power to move the speakers I’ll get. I was thinking about Golden Ear reference but my wife and I are more classical and jazz listeners and these are better for rock? Suggestions appreciated!
