Speakers to build a $6500 system around
I am frustrated with all the speaker choices available in the $2k range. There's just too many! I listen to all music types but I lean towards jazz, vocals and reggae. I have a bedroom system consisting of an Rega Apollo cd player, Music Angel EL34 integrated pushing an old pair of Energy 4.1e's which I enjoy very much. However, this set-up in my larger tiled family room just doesn't cut it. Can someone recommend a source,full range speaker and integrated combo that can deliver "you are there" kind of sound for around $6500? My room is not ideal. It measures 16' x 20'. One side opens out to a dining area. I have to place these speakers against the long wall. I would really appreciate any opinions on speakers in the $2000 dollar range that I can really build something special upon. Thanks!

Since you like Energys (and I can't blame you; I like Canadian speakers in general and API speakers in particular), why not look into the Energy RC-70 floorstanding speakers? The claimed sensitivity is high -- 92 dB anechoic, and 95 dB, both speakers in-room. If that latter figure is honest, your 35 wpc tube amp should be able to produce clean peaks of 110 dB with these. They're $2200/pair list price. As for whether this particular model is made in China or Canada, I can say that I have several pairs of Canadian-made Mirages (also an API company) and a new pair of OMD-15s made in China. The Chinese-made ones are *at least* as well built as the Canadian ones. My OMD-15s are superb in every way--sensitivity, dispersion, linearity, frequency extension, imaging, dynamic range at both ends of the scale, etc. |
