With your room dimensions, I would suggest an in-home audition of Ohm Walsh 1000s ($2000/pr) or 2000s ($2800/pr, but you can wait for a sale, the next one will likely be around Presidents' Day). IME, they are excellent on all types of music, including rock. Note, however, that a large amount of sound absorbtion in your room would not work well with the Ohm's near-omni radiating pattern. I had a lot of foam panels up, and actually took some down. That resulted in a wider, deeper soundstage. And you will need to keep them at least a little bit away from nearby walls. YMMV, of course.
Looking for speaker ideas.
Looking for speaker ideas and room size is 11 w x 16 l x 9 ft ceilings.....room has acoustical panels. Music ranges from Big Band , Blues, Rock.
Equipment so far is :
Wyred 4 Sound st-500
deHavilland Mercury Preamp
Sim audio phono pre
VPI Industries HW-19 mkIII GLOSS BLACK W/MOERCH UP-4 / Ortofon Black
Have looked at different Spendor , Proac, Totem speakers but not sure if those would work for the rock music and would a sub be needed with those if they would be able to play rock music ?
Budget is $2000-2500

Would like to stay with tubes if possible and budge is about the same. Was going through a recent thread https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/pre-amp-upgrade-time and was doing some reading about preamps that Radu Tarta makes . Might have an idea for speakers.....have to do some reading first. |
