I do have a subs as well. Paradigm servo 15 and a JL F113. JL is out of commission for the moment. Need to pull the amp and send to JL for repair. Loud buzz.
Speaker suggestions under 4k
Well here it is. I sold my Tekton Double Impacts and my Lyngdorf 2170 a while back. I thought it sounded very good! I was getting out of audio and wasn't listening much anymore. Well..... now winter is here, I'm bored and have the itch to get something descent again.
I like rock/metal/bluegrass/ acoustic/ some country. I need impact and good midbass and low fatigue. I have a Crown DCI 4/300 and a upgraded Jolida Fusion preamp at the moment. Plenty of power for almost anything.
My biggest pet peeve is cabinets that start talking at high levels or when the sound hardens at high levels.
Willing to drive up to 300miles 1 way for the right deal and I am in West Mi. A little older does not bother me at all. I've just started looking and a few I've been eying are:
Aerial LR5 or Model 9
Dali MS4
LSA 20 statements (new)
KEF 205/2
Dynaudio Focus 360
Any others anyone feels I should keep an eye out for in this price range?
Thanks

I will back up on the Tekton subject. Loud volumes I thought they hardened up some. Lost coherence. Pretty damn loud mind you. I thought this was my room and very well could have been. I've other speakers in there since and I don't really get that sensation. Something like the Pioneer S1 reccomended earlier would have a much more heroic cabinet so may keep in check at higher levels better. If those were closer I would probably give them a go. |
Hello, the music you mentioned, the budget, the amp and preamp you are using all leads to the Rubicon 8. https://holmaudio.com/dali/ I just listened to these yesterday at Holm Audio. Really Really good for everything including rock without any listening fatigue. Try the trim sound track. I swear they had the sub hooked up at one point. So much so I checked to see if it was. The JL sub did not have any cables plugged in. If you are near the Chicagoland area go listen, Hell, take them home to try them out. You will be keeping them. https://holmaudio.com/dali/ |
Sorry, $3499 and the soundtrack was Tron from the movie. Happy Holidays everyone!https://holmaudio.com/dali/ |
