JBL 4429’s on Deer Creek Audio stands driven by Krell with Transparent cabling. Dynamic without compression, extremely large soundstage, full midrange that borders on tube sounding and extended clean highs that can be adjusted for taste! I’ve owned a ton of speakers costing upwards of $20k that did not please me as much as these large bookshelf/stand mounted JBL’s do.
Call Fritz up and talk to him on the phone. He is very personable. Basically, he makes four flavors of the same speaker, using different model drivers mostly from Scanspeak: the Carrera 7 BE, Carbon 7 SE, the LS 7, and the REV 7 SE.
I’d vote for the Focal Aria 906. I love the way the flax drivers sound. These can currently be had for $800 a pair new. I’d put these up against anything in that price range. I’ve got a pair and love them. I listen to everything except Country music.
