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 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.
I had a friend in Minnesota that drove his Snell c5's hard and they always performed for him;at this time his amps were the first run of adcom 555's and then mccormack dna-1 monoblocks.
I have yet to conclude but I swapped tweeters and the defect did not switch L/R speakers. So I suspect the mid. Not the actual speaker but a defect in my own handi work. I put a poly bypass cap on a NPE and maybe have a bad solder connection and I also changed a resistor value and used an older power resistor I had in stock and maybe it wasn't good so as soon as I go in I'll find out. (how embarrassing :)
Ugh, cold solder connection on a poly cap I installed to replace NPE. Fixed sounds great! At least it didn't cost me anything other than aggrevation! Note, these do B&W do play loud enough with no distortion!
