I have a pair of B&W DM640's. Sound real nice but i have to be real careful with the volume as the tweeter is prone to blowing up. I want to get another set of speakers that I don't have to worry so much about that. i can spend $2000 used. Suggestions?
The PSB Stratus Gold can play loudly and take a lot of power, but if you underpower it, like any speaker, you will blow the tweeters due to distortion, not power.
I have been reading some threads and some people that have older speakers with ferrofluid say it dries out. Maybe that is it? Some songs the tweeter is very clear and on others there is a slight static sound.
The right sized newer OHM Walshes that you can find to fit your room size and the juiciest good amp you can find to throw at them. A clear cut slam dunk for me for this application. You;d be hard pressed to do better at any price. Plus, the room filling omni presentation will not drive you out of the room as the volume goes up.
