Looking for my Final Pair!!


Been through the high end maelstrom for over 30 years and although I have enjoyed the ride, I desperately want to find speakers that exude dynamics, tone and presence.  I want to be transported to the Village Vanguard where The John Coltrane Quartet are performing any night I desire.  I want to feel the timbre of his sax 🎷. When I close my eyes I want to be enveloped by the atmosphere of the space and awash with the impact and emotion being expressed by the musicians.  I don’t want to hear what the engineers hear after they mix a recording...I want to be in the studio when the tracks are being laid down!  So far, Tannoy Heritage Arden have come to my attention, Klipsch Cornwall IV’s, JBL S4700’s or perhaps Spatial Audio X3’s?  Help

Pure Audio Project, similar to the Spatials, are an open baffle design with a modular construction allowing for some customization. I suspect you'd look at the horn tweeter for a good live reproduction of jazz. Someone else may prefer the voxativ version which really excels in capturing the human voice and orchestral midrange.
glupson, the ATC Pro 15's are $20K! The little guys are supposed to be right in your face!


Bought my last pair of speakers (AudioStatic ES300R, later upgraded to DCM-4) and my last amp (Mark Levinson no. 333) for driving them 25 years ago. They once made a door caller compliment me the piano playing skills of my non-existent wife...
mijostyn,

It was just a suggestion to have a reference for "being in the studio".

For example, these are right where they are supposed to be pricewise and have their own amplifier. 

ATC SCM45A Pro Dual 6.5 inch 3-way Powered Studio Monitors | Sweetwater

These are more expensive, but again they have amplifier included.

ATC SCM50ASL Pro 9 inch 3-way Powered Studio Monitors | Sweetwater

Maybe non-pro ATC would be what OP is looking for?
