Also, I just saw a pair of upgraded Tekton Double Impacts for about half of your stated budget. And they are close to brand new. It's not my ad nor do I know the seller, but I had the upgraded Double Impacts and thought they were excellent. Yes, the auditioning process is cumbersome, but how were you planning to audition the other speakers on your list? For long-term speakers, the process may be worth the trouble.
Speaker recommendation
I’m looking to buy a speaker in the $4000-5000 range. I was very impressed with the GoldenEar Trton 1 speaker I heard at a friend’s house, and I know the Tekton DI is very well thought of on this forum.
I listen to mostly classical music, some Diana Krall and the like, and also big band music.
Any other suggestions?

https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis94jd2-sonus-faber-cremona-in-maple-full-range It will be a good choice for classical music. It also has a good bass extension and nice soundstage. https://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/304sonus/index.html I did not put up the above AD or no relation to its seller. |
https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis95d9e-psb-speakers-outstanding-selection-from-imagine-t3-t2-t-b... PSB T3 is also on the sale. https://www.stereophile.com/content/psb-imagine-t3-loudspeaker-specifications I have a PSB subwoofer and I like it. Even though PSB T3 is a very nice speaker with good bass extension, Sonus Faber Cremona is more refined and suitable to classical music. You can go either way with no regret. |
