Speaker Upgrade

Audiofeil,

I guess my comments were a bit harsh but I'll never forget all the times I was Ignored at the audio store. Now the dealers call me begging to come in and audition the latest and greatest. I mostly just buy on Audiogon and take my chances. Luckily things have worked out so far.

Pkelly1504 I am in south jersey have you been to overture audio in Wilmington Deleware and soundex in Willow Grove PA yet;pretty knowledgable guys and a nice selection as well.

Pkelly1504,
The speakers you're listing have so different characteristics, that I'm not sure what you really aim for upgrade or listening needs in general.

I would subtract B&W mentioned since they will not sound right with your amp.

Due to your extreamly high celiings, it's encouraged that you will build an acoustic trap another words building a stage 'tent'.

Please keep in mind that dealers often sell used speakers so you can pick them up to avoid shipping problems and charges. Not that I encourage or have any kind of interest recommending any dealers or stores, but definitely if possible, buy them locally. In Phili/Jersey I think there's a tons of possibilities from dealers and private sellers.

Magfan, I saw that too, but was so put off by the window shopping, I refrained from posting.

I am heading to Overtures and Hi Fi House this evening.
Soundex is appointment only and it has been tough nailing down a time.
Thanks
