Replacement for Matrix 803 S2

After a year of listening I decided to replace b&w with something more suitable for rock and metal. Something used and up to 5000$. The listening room is rather small - about 22 square meters and 2.5m high, so the speakers should be not huge)

With that size room, before you change speakers, spend about 1-$2k of your budget at GIK Acoustics. THEN see if you want new speakers.

After that, a satellite/sub system may work out best for you, especially if you have room EQ.

Alternatives of course are high-efficiency pro type gear which you may also like. Some of the mid-small JBL monitors from the late 80s come to mind.

Best,


Erik

Golden Ear Triton Ones.  I made the plunge and never looked back.  I listen to mostly rock and metal and trust me, they will fit the bill.

Of all possible choices, the GE would probably be more of the same. If you aren't happy with the B&W's  you have, I'd be really surprised if you found the GE significantly different, but let your ears be the only judges.
