@pcc67. I assure you it was never my intention to be rude. I was merely suggesting you avail yourself of your dealer’s experience. Also, whenever you go public with something you open yourself up to potential criticism. I hope you find a good amp. Really.
Looking for a little help for speakers I may purchase
I recently went to audio dealer near me and by accident decide to listen to a used pair of egglestonworks andra. I must say I was completely blown away by the sound. I decided I will listen one more time this weekend. And for the price being very affordable I will put them in my bedroom. They were hooked up to prima tube. But I dont want to put tube in my room. And want to keep amp and pre under 2 or 3k. Any suggestions? Used is fine. Ty

@chayro Sorry bro. Just trying to get advise and I'm really big on doing my research. Many times when you ask people for help they just get redicoulus, like dont ask a question about audio, makes u wonder why there is an audio site. Lol. And in the end it will be my ears that decide. Just looking to slim down my options. Sorry, all is good. |

Hi, they look great and for that sort of price I would be disappointed if they hadent blown you away. There are so many alternatives for almost every price range that research becomes vital - however there really aren`t any serious duds on the market in the range of known and trusted manufacturers. My interest after having gone deep to find of decent entry level speakers at a fraction of the price of the Egglestonworks andra`s, is to know how the exponential increase of sound quality matches the amount spent. I had a quick listen to a pair of speakers costing ten times the amount that I spent at the same dealer, and I cant say that I was ten times more impressed, maybe twice. And naturally your source would have to be of a similar standard to enjoy the full benefit of the speaker. |
I've been thinking about the anthem p2 used. I've listened to the anthem statement and like that amp alot, but 6k is more than I'm willing to dish out. The egglestonworks just had all drivers done not long ago, excellent condition for 2500.00 dont really think I could do better for that price. Plus it just sounds sweet to me. I will listen to it one more time this weekend and probably get it. Luckily I have not sold my old pre and I will borrow an amp from my main system until I find another amp. I've been looking for more watts on my main system and the p2 was one of my options. I would love tubes for the egglestonworks, but I dont think I can find anything in my price range to drive them. Especially since I'm still upgrading my main system. |
