I'm interested to see the responses here, but if you're really into orchestral, my guess is that the answer is... NO SUCH THING. I've never really heard any convincing reproduction of orchestral music. But the closest systems I've heard were $$$$$.
Budget speakers for Orchestral music?
I'm looking for an efficient speaker (at least 90db) that works well with tubes and is ideal for classical music, from solo piano to large orchestral works. Oh, and they need to be under $1000, used or new. Any suggestions? What interests me is a lush midrange, I was considering Thiel CS-1.5's, but my amp is underpowered for them. Any other ideas?

Oh boy that's a tough one! If you had a little more power I would recommend the Brines Acoustic LT-2000 with the (Lowther DX3 driver). It may work well who knows? Speakers like this aren't lush sounding unless the equipment used with them are lush..then you will have lush ;-).Unless you can find them used, they run $1600 a pair new. The FT-1600 MkII is under your price range and come up used around $500 or maybe a little less. If you have a small to medium size room. The FT-1600 maybe a good fit. The LT-2000 will be better. The extra cost is for the better drivers and larger cabinet. The Soliloquy 5.3s or 6.2s should work also.They come up used under $1000. These speakers tend to be more efficient than the specs suggest. |
