The Vandersteen 7's is a good Choice for full delivery top to bottom. Also the Wilson Sasha is a good speaker to consider. The vandys list around 46K and the Sashas are a great value at 26K.
Looking for "Last" 2 channel speaker system.
I am looking to downsize my speaker system in the near future and am interested in some feedback as to what my shortlist should be for auditions!
Some background. I currently have the Genesis 4 tower speakers, and absolutely love everything about them, except, their size! In particular I like the fact that the bass towers have adjustments which includes remote volume.........very very handy and useful.
For my last set of speakers I would like something with a much smaller footprint, that can also play occassionaly at higher SPL's. I think soundstage and detail and a holographic image is important, and a strong bass is important although I'm not completely against using a separate subwoofer to assist with the absolute bottom ends.
Some of the contenders that I am considering are: Marten Coltrane, Consensus Conspiracy, Avalon Isis, JM Lab Stella, Hanson King V2 and some model of Kharma. I have also been reading lately some very good reports on the top of the line Legacy speaker.
I would like to keep the price down somewhat, hoping to spend no more than $25K on the used market, perhaps up to $40K for something that performs in Utopia.
I don't feel that my front end info matters much as it is constantly in a state of flux, although I don't see the MBL6010D leaving.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
