Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk
See title, which speakers would you suggest auditioning and how would you describe their sound? Price can be new or used.
Looking for specific recommendations and how you’d describe their sounds ie crisp, warm, whatever. Again I enjoy mostly jazz and folk with nice vocals. If you care to share amps you think pair well or ones to avoid feel free! Please spare me responses on why it’s different for everyone or how my question is somehow flawed, just looking for some of your opinions/recommendations, thank you.

@nhb1, since you're near Boston, I highly recommend Goodwin's in Waltham. They have a huge selection and several listening rooms with several different ranges of equipment and very knowledgeable and friendly salespeople. Not pushy in the slightest. They'll sit you down on a couch, give you a tablet for streaming and leave you alone for as long as you want. I personally have a pair of Magico Mini IIs (stand-mounts) paired with a JL Audio sub and I'm very happy with the sound. Magico makes some great speakers in your price range. I have a narrow listening room, about 13 x 25, and prefer the flexibility of a separate sub with its own room correction. Bass is the hardest to get right in a room. A self-powered sub with automatic room correction will save you a ton of headaches trying to dial in the bass. And you can basically put it anywhere. Enjoy the shopping and listening phase of your journey. It's one of the best stages of audio purchasing, and you probably won't find yourself in the market that often. So make the most of it. |
I own 2 pair of Emerald Physics OB speakers. The 2.8s are their flagship MSRP was $10K but they're out of production. There's a pair for sale https://www.usaudiomart.com/search.php?keywords=emerald+physics+&cat_id=25&price_min=&pr... hth |
See if you can find a Spendor dealer in your neck of the woods. The Spendor D-line might be the ticket! https://www.spendoraudio.com/d-line-loudspeakers/ The Proac D48r is another option! https://www.proac-loudspeakers.com/html_files/Speakers.php?Range=Response&Speaker=ResponseD48 |
