purchasing US made speakers
I currently have psb imagine t2 speakers. I am interested in replacing them with US manufactured speakers 10-12 k being the maximum price....perhaps aerial acoustics, vandersteen,,,,,any thoughts? My hearing at age 70 diminishes at 8,000 hz so a good midrange is probably good.

Vandersteen Audio Quatro CT would be my recommendation for you. This particular Made in USA speaker offers a unique phase and time correct driver arrangement,is extremely placement friendly with i separate self powered bass section being tunable with analog room compensation non DSP approach.. We have tuned hundreds of these designs successfully,some placed only four inches out from the wall,available in a variety of beautiful wooden finishes,Eucalyptus my fav each meticulously hand tuned in an anechoic chamber. They work well with most any pairing of electronics and are a true music lovers companion JohnnyR Audio Connection Vandersteen Dealer 31 years |
Salk makes some lovely costumed made speakers. I ordered a Supercharged SongCenter center speaker in teak veneer and I am delighted with it. It really has improved the surround system's tonality, imaging and dialog comprehension. You can also consider the Magico A3s. I have a pair and they are a joy to listen to. |
There are so many speakers made in the USA that it would be difficult to list them all. You can add to the list Martin Logan and Klipsch. For the issues the OP discussed, I would definitely look into Martin Logan and Klipsch. The amp to be used would be very important . I have also seen many small lessor known manufacturers at audio shows such as the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Some were very well done to outstanding and I had never heard of them before. Unfortunately with the pandemic, going to audio shows is out. However, lists presented by others here actually help. You still have to match them with your current amp and listen if possible. but, as I've found out with headphones, there are a lot of speakers out there. I'm flipping through my 2018 RMAF booklet and there is an incredible number of speakers listed. the booklet doesn't tell you if they are made in the USA or not, but I remember going from room to room and I can tell you many were, and about more than half I had never heard of before. enjoy |
