Which Speaker
Another sales pitch from MC about tekton speakers and he hasn't even heard the speakers he is talking about. Tekton has been called out for over stating their sensitivity ratings, the reviewer said they were closer to 90db. There are many good/great speakers that you can drive with a less expensive amp that would be a better choice. A used pair of Totem rainmakers, a used pair of Usher S520's, a used pair of Revel M20's, a used pair of Kef reference 1's or 2's, Elac, and others. If you purchase any of these speakers, the weakest link will be your amp and the speakers will sound better if and when you update your other components. If you need more bass, get a good Rel sub |
Before Mr. Tekton (MC) holds sway, you may want to look at these. https://www.sound-smith.com/speakers/monarch-bookshelf-speakers You might be surprised that they could be better. He'll never admit it though. |
What I did was pick a price for speakers then double it and shop used for 50% deals. If you can find a pair on your list used and within driving distance, buy them and try them then resell them. You ain’t going to make any money, but you’ll control the bleeding while you figure out your room acoustics, personal preference, and components signature. I’m on my 5-6th pair, idk maybe 10, probably more, but...I’m getting there and am only out time and gasoline.(and initial investment) |
Ok, I've spent a lot of time looking at speakers and my budget over the weekend. For now I am going to have to go with a more budget friendly speaker but I wholly intend of upgrading in the future and will certainly come back to this thread when that time comes. For now, however, I am limited by expenses but I still believe I have some good options. The two speakers I've narrowed it down to are the Q Acoustics 3050i and the Dali Oberon 5, both I can secure for the same price. For reference if I could afford it I was leaning to a pair of the monitor audio silvers so if you recommended them good job. But maybe I could even go for some golds in the future you never know. Anyway its between the Dali and the 3050i, what's getting your guys votes and why? Thanks again |
