Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations?

I say be careful what you wish for. I had the old Vandersteen 5's and loved them in many ways but I stopped listening to things like flamenco and small scale acoustic music. I really missed the vibrant and lifelike qualities that I like. As good as they were I ended up selling them.

I agree with Lrsky the VA Mahlers would be a nice choice. I have multiple sets of speakers and find my Aerial 8b's to be a warm sound that does not change in character as the volume goes up, they just sound more grand. They also do not seem to be as electronic dependent as say my Thiels and Magnepans. Good luck with your choice.

Aerials are terrific speakers Jkw1...you did good!

I owned the Mahlers circa, 2003...after hearing Rebecca Pigeon's Spanish Harlem
on them at the CES2003.
They image, are never offensive, in terms of sounding etched or having too much HF hash...or shrillness...yet you never, let me repeat, NEVER feel that you're missing any information.
They are just wonderful, AND LUSH, AND MUSICAL.
The voicing is like 'coming home'...like the sound you always thought your system should have, but didn't...kind of like, well, 'real music.'

Good luck.
