Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room
@audiotroy have you tried the Kii Three? It has some built-in DSP, probably not as good as a separate system but if you like to use/sell that kind of solution it might interest you. https://www.stereophile.com/content/kii-audio-three-loudspeaker |
Headphonedreams, So far we haven't been super impressed by the KII,s they sounded like a good monitor, they didn't sound really big, soundstage was good, but not blown away. We can easily get them, Sound Org is their distributor, and we get Rega from them. Unless we hear them sound better so far heard them at two Audio Shows and each time not blown away I doubt we will venture down that path. I would take an Active set of ACT SCM 40 or the Calibre with the Wavlet. Actually we were not interested in flooring the Calibres, at $5,500 plus stands you are in spitting territory of the full range Legacy Signture at $7k. We just heard this combo at the last New York Audio show and the Cailbres were amazing. Perfect high performance monitor. Just add an Amp for the midrange woofer and tweeter and off you go. Legacy was showing Active Calibres, active was in the bass, the rest of the speaker was passive. They sounded freaking huge. Dave and Troy Audio Doctor NJ |
I would go with a stand mount 2 way if it were me. I have a big system in a big room and also have had many systems in my smaller bedroom. I am always amazed at how much bass a small speaker can pump out in the bedroom compared to my giant speakers in a huge room. I've had floor standers in the bedroom and they've always been a little boomy sounding. With a space that small I wouldn't bother with a bigger speaker they aren't made for that kind of space. Lots of exciting choices for 10K! |
