I decided to upgrade my current bookshelf speakers (Infinity R162s). I've settled on 2 options based on some reviews:
- Ascend Sierra 1 (on sale for 680/ pair)
- Triangle Borea BR08 (on sale for 800/ pair)
I'm newer to audio stuff, but I felt it was a good time to upgrade. My current system and listening area:
- Denon AVR-X2600H (95WPC)
- HSU VTF2 MK5
- Fluance RT-85 (Nagaoka MP150)
- Art DJ Pre II (12V power supply upgrade)
- 24'x15' living/dining area with 9' ceilings
- Not treated and can't be because WAF
- Opening to kitchen and staircase
- Listening Position about 7-8 feet from speakers currently
Originally I thought the Triangle might fill the space better and I like that is 3-way. That said I've heard some middling reviews about response.
Sierra 1s are at a great price, and I would assume better quality. What I'm concerned about is achieving adequate volume in the space.
I value accuracy above volume, but I don't want it to sound anemic in space. I will probably end up just trying both and judging for myself, but curious as to your opinions.
Thanks! This is my first post here.
