Well Rounded Speakers $2500-$3000?
If you like the Gllo's you'll really like them.But I think two companies with really good value are Usher (because they have D'Apolitto make the bon x-over and infringing on copyright of best drivers like Scanspeak) or try the Totem Forrest.Totem is a great sounding speaker.The Virgo's are good German speakers but best suited dispersion wise on a long wall if that your room layout.Can't knock what you've mentioned but think bang for buck Gallo,User,Totem offer more.

I'd say these, but you might want to get a second pair of Khartagos. These were $7500/pair speakers. Also available at that price in black. Otherwise, I'd go for something like the PSB Imagine T at $2k/pair retail or see if you can find a deal on PSB Synchrony 1 towers. All these speakers scale up and down really well for classical and jazz, and have a deep, tight bass and transparent, fast midrange for rock and pop. |
I was tempted by the NHT XD system a year ago when NHT was folding, too. Since I was looking for speakers for an analog front end, I wasn't too keen on the idea of digitzing everything to go into the speaker system. But if you are all digital, it should be great. I think it was full-range Stereophile Class A when they reviewed it. |
OK, I am going to talk my book here, as everyone does, but Magnepan 3.6R's are a sublime speaker, one of the best reviewed of all time, and for good reason. You can get a set in your price range, the only caveat is the age old truism with Magnepan's about amplification. You need a lot of it, and it should be good. I have tried many other speakers and always come back to these. My next favorites in your range would be the Vandersteen 3A sigs, or a wonderful pair of Klipschorns. good luck. |
