Those all look like top flight choices to me. I'm researching also the Canton Vento 890.2, which can be had brand new for less than $3k.
Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts?
Thinking of upgrading my speakers and in the past have just gone with what I thought was a great deal, sometimes that worked, more often it did not!
Have a shortlist right now of those 3 speakers.
Focal Aria 936
Elac Adante AF-61
Von Schweikert VR-33
Presently using Triangle Altea ESW speakers.
What am I lacking right now? Possibly some lower bass, the Triangles are superb in the mids and upper registers but you can definitely tell they are a little limp below 40hz. And at the end of the day even though I consider them to be fantastic speakers, they were after all only 2k brand new so there are likely better options out there to consider.
So thoughts and impressions on those 3 speakers or any serious contenders in the same sort of price bracket, I am looking at used examples only so think 3k max.
Will be driving them with an Ayre AX-7E integrated which I will NOT be changing anytime soon (famous last words I know!)
Thank you
