I always think of Dynaudio as one of the gold standard brands. Can never go wrong. Unless the amp is not up to the task.

Vandersteen VLR Wood or CT. Another to consider. But, Richard did design these to be actual ‘bookshelf’ speakers (so they can literally be placed anywhere, even against a wall/cabinet), those who have heard them, either in an actual bookshelf or not, have been very impressed. I have not heard them, but Vandersteen should speak for itself. |
Better than all the above would be a full range 8 inch full range Lii Audio driver in a one cubic foot box. The Fast 8 drivers are $200 plus shipping and the Silver 8s are $430 plus shipping (prices are for a pair of speakers). Make the box yourself, or have one made or buy some boxes off ebay or wherever. Wire the speaker directly from its voice coil wire and add my Ground Enhancer right on the voice coil wire too. The other end of the wire your wrap around the binding post on the outside (my binding post bypass system). This will blow your mind.......the drivers are 94 and 97 db sensitive....so anything can drive them. No crossover, no phase shift, totally time aligned....great sound. I will have info on my website this next week (tweakaudio.com) with more info about how to do this (including pictures). You can also use the Silver 6s.....$200 the pair. https://www.lii-audio.com/shop/ Here is a video of a pair of the silver 8s mounted in big homemade floor box. Of course a one cubic foot box will not have the bass of this system. First song fades in an out.......but WTF......these things are amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_VqDN5-878 |
