I’d cross the Paradigms and Revels off your list if the 802s are too bright, and it’s hard to fathom the Harbeth looking at home in a modern decor. I think Sonus Faber is a good one to pursue as well as the Sasha, and the Rockport Avior ll should also be very high on your list IMHO (read Soundstage Ultra review). Best of luck.
Replacement for 802 D3s
Hey all,
After living with them for a few months, I'm looking to replace my B&W 802 D3s. While they offer great detail and soundstage, the sound is too bright and thin for our space. My room is fairly large (roughly 20'x30') and the speakers are on the long wall. The rest of the system includes...
Mac c2700 & MA 462
Aurender ACS100
VPI Prime Signature
The speakers I'm considering (and about to start auditioning) include...
KEF Blades
Paradigm Persona 9H
Wilson Audio Sasha DAW
I'm also considering Revel & Harbeth from a local dealer and am trying to find a dealer to demo Sonus Faber Amati Traditions and Il Cremonese.
I would be interested in any perspective from people who have owned any of these speakers and lived with them in their system for some time. Whatever we end up with has to not only sound great, but also look fantastic in a contemporary aesthetic.
Many thanks for any feedback...
