I own the Tannoy Sterlings. Auditioned them with the Luxman integrated. A great match. I would purchase the Luxman however don't need the phonostage.
Need speaker advice
Hej
I'm looking for a
new pair of speakers. The reason for this is that I find my Tannoy
Legacy Eaton a little too difficult to drive for my 2x12w Audion
Audio Sterling. I also feel that the Tannoys are a little too relaxed
and a little rolled off.
One problem with
brands like Tekton and nsmt is that I live in Sweden and I do not
have the opportunity to listen to them (which I assume is the same
problem in the US) and to send them back if I don't like them is not
financially defensible. To take a chance on one of these brands I really have to be sure that they are what I’m looking for. I don’t
think this will happend.
I heard Klipsch
Heresey III which I didn't like. To my taste, they were too much on
my face and too harsh. Could have been the room and/or the amplifier
and/or ...?
I listen to all
kinds of music, from progressive rock to classical music.
My listening
position is 6.6 feet from the speakers.
My budget is aprox $
7,200.
Any suggestions?

Hello, I agree about the looks of the Tektons. I feel the same way about Maggie’s. But I love the sound of both. Dali speakers are made close by. They came out with a black edition with 6” drivers. Only 400 pairs were made for the us. Their sensitivity is 90db. Maybe this would be good enough. I would break them in on a stronger amp for a few weeks to get the drivers really loose. You are a few miles away from my favorite store in the states. https://holmaudio.com/ But these and maybe another models would be a great option. |
