MAGICO,ROCKPORT or VIMBERG jump on a pair ASAP!!
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.

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 |
@nhb1 Because you love Folk and Jazz you get where this music came from. You want to enjoy the music more. Music that wasn't made for royalty or oligarchs, it is from and for regular people with challenging lives. You enjoy the soul of the music. So here is some advice that may get me ostracized here and which you would probably never get from any dealer. Give $25000 to a worthy charity or a University you respect. Endow a scholarship or help people put out of work by the pandemic. Aid those afflicted by the racism we have yet to come to terms with or a family who has lost it's breadwinner due to the pandemic. Find a music school and create a small scholarship fund. Make a difference in someones life with that money. Help create the folk and jazz of tomorrow. Then take whats left and by a pair of KEF LS50 metas or Magnepan LRS's and a nice subwoofer or two and pair it with a good integrated like the Rogue Sphinx and really enjoy the music! |
Hi, I have an Audio Note system and my main listening genere is jazz. I started in a different direction but ended up with AN. The sound is extremely musical. You will be immersed in it, not listening to the system. Set up right, the speakers disappear. There is only a big wall of three dimensional music, where every instrument is separated, distinct, enjoyable. It is not as detailed or clinical as other brands, but musical like no other. You must listen to AN before you make any decision. I run AN-J She speakers with a Meishu Silver 300B amp (only 8W/CH) all tied up with AN cables and wow, it is magical. But, you have to listen for yourself and most of all, enjoy the process... |
