Speaker Audition
I presently have an Avantgarde Uno (about 15 years old) in my system. It’s very good but I am feeling it’s time for a different approach to getting the sound I want/like .... that being musicality and dynamics. Horns deliver this but with a horn signature if you get what I mean. I am looking for suggestions of what should be on my audition list. Budget would be +/-$25k. I was at an audio show this weekend and listened to a few speakers that might fit the bill: Genesis Maestro, Rockport Atria II, Magico S5, Vandersteen 5A Carbon, Tannoy Kensington, Vivid Kaya 90 (maybe too small for the room and the big Vivids too much $). Really appreciate any suggestions you might have of speakers that I might add to this list for further listening.
(Music I listen to most: rock, jazz, blues and female vocals. Amps Pass Labs XA 60.8, AR Ref 6 Pre, REL subs, sources vinyl and streaming, largeish listening room but have to set up speakers on the long wall ... far from corners)

Hello, Another option is the Revel Salon 2s. They have great bass and an almost air like quality. They are $22k for the pair. They sound incredible with vinyl and streaming. I am sure the 60 pass amp can push them just fine. I saw a YouTube video today from GR Research. He said he is coming out with some new high end speakers very soon. |
You might want to check out the Sanders model 10e. They offer a 30 day in-home trial with shipping to "most anywhere in the world". https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/sanders-model-10e-hybrid-electrostatic-loudspeaker/ ("This is one of the best speakers ever made ... as close to perfection as any speaker system I have ever encountered, outside of installations where room and speakers were purpose-built as a unit.") |
