Tannoy Cheviot may fit the bill
End game speakers for Yamaha as2100 under 5k new or used
Hi
Cycled through a few now.
I love the amp and never want to sell. Its a tank (50lbs) but only rated at 90w.
I only stream now. Tidal mqa through a lumin d1. Sometimes CD. No other hi res. So redbook or mqa will be it for me.
I like some detail, but like a more relaxed sound that I know. 1\2 of the time its playing in the room in the background, other 1\2 I sit and listen. Needs to have ultra wide sweet spot and dig deep into 30hz range or below.
My 'room' is a 1650 sq ft loft with really no walls and 22ft ceilings. Its not just a box, but mostly open. Room treatments will be an ongoing thing, but I don't want the speaker to sound bad in the interm. Surprisingly, its actually OK and does not echo, I think due to the material used in the roof.
Anyway. I want a speaker that first and foremost makes maximum use of these watts. I don't want to ever think that they may sound way better with 2x or 3x the watts. But I also don't want them to be so efficient that they will sound the same with 1 watt. Something just right to use this amp as designed. This may seem odd, but its required that I find the spec sweet spot here first, to manage my future upgradeitis. In that sweet spot, I will audition as many as possible. But I'm not sure what ohm/db that would be? Ish??
Used I was thinking acoustic zen creshendo, focal, legacy, tekton(??) or tannoy prestige. Since I have so much air to move I may be leaning more to larger drivers?
I am not sure I want k horns with this amp....
Any suggestions welcome :)
