Again my opinion fwiw is to find a good ss amp that works well with the B&W' s . Enjoy for a while then upgrade speakers when you have the funds. Definitely buy used if you can. A good neutral amp will sound good on any speaker assuming enough power etc. You might like the B&W's better with a more refined and musical amp. Good speaker wire important too. Maximize the B&W's and you may be set for a while. Just an opinion
Sonus Faber vs Focal and maybe even Dynaudio or PSB
Hello,
A favorable tax return is allowing me to upgrade my current B&W 684 2.5 way floor standers. I have a Rogue Audio RP-1 that I would like to keep in the system and eventually upgrade the Rotel class D amp to a more modern class D piece after I choose the speaker. I am also running a single Velodyne Micro-V
I want to support my local dealer because they are pretty good about letting me have demos or brand new stuff in my system. The speakers I can choose from are Focal,PSB, Sonus Fabor and DynAudio. I can probably demo any of these products. But I don’t want to go overboard and request to demo everything as I have a modest budget of $2K. The first product I have lined up for a demo is the Focal Chorus 726.
My sources are vinyl and digital (deezer and some HD files) fed through a Wadia 321. I listen to all types of rock, progressive and some jazz.
I have always been fairly satisfied with the B&W characteristics so I don’t want to have a speaker that is to bright or not natural sounding or has to much bass. I just want a well balanced product.
Any light that can be shed my direction is appreciated.
