I actually have heard these speakers. Sound really nice on a lot of music. Not really my cup of tea all around however. Owned the F30 for a short while as well. Think I preferred those to the 208 overall, although did not hear in the same room with same electronics. Softer well recorded rock like Dire Straights for example sounded phenominal on both, probably better on the 208. Pantera, Metallica, Pig Destroyer not so much but better on the F30.
Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket
I recently sold my last 2 sets of speakers. I am redoing my man cave and will take the speaker proceeds to buy a new set for down there. I want to go floorstander this time, something with killer dynamics but still detailed and musical. Whatever has to have great sock you in the gut mid bass.
For amplification I have odyssey stratos extreme with Jolida Fusion Preamp. Also sometimes run Cayin A100T. Have a JL Fathom for the low low end.
The room is about 13x20 10ft ceilings.
This is a no wife input zone so I will be doing whatever regarding looks of the speakers and room treatments that I want.
Speakers will go on the short wall.
There is a local guy selling Klipsch Chorus 2 with upgraded Crites crossovers and tweeter I want to take a look at. These seem to hold their value decently and I could probably break even if I sell them. Not sure I will like them but the retro look is kinda cool and I am sure they go loud but need to be somewhat refined ans detailed as well.
Only other contender so far is really the Tekton Double Impact. These really intrigue me as to if they really are as good as some say. No dealers so demo is out and I would rather buy used and these are too new for that. Only other floorstander I have owned for a while is the GE Triton 1. While very nice I want to try something different. Any suggestions on what else I should be looking at and my current candidates?
