Salks are among the most beautiful, well made, speakers without exorbitant prices around. Take a look at the possible finishes and email with Jim.
Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s...
Hi. My wife and I finally agreed to put a proper stereo in the big room (700 sqft or thereabouts) and I bought a massive Krell amp in preparation for the eventual Magnepan purchase because we decided that the aesthetics of those speakers (with white socks) were tolerable.
Before I pull that trigger, though, are there any "beautiful" speakers, respected by the audiophile community, that I should consider? I've looked over SFs and Focals, and they're indeed beautiful, but not so beautiful as to sway us.
(as an aside, really, would it kill some of these manufacturers to offer a few more finishes-- with high-resolution photos taken from modern homes? They are literally throwing money out the window with these Geocities-quality websites. I'm surely not the only suburbanite looking for an audiophile-approved speaker with nice aesthetics)
Thank you.

I owned these Model 2’s, they are my 2nd favorite speakers, gave them to my son. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649761456-pair-jse-infinite-slope-model-2a-speakers-teak-finish-... very easy to refinish, custom veneer, all flat surfaces, have it your way. new fabric easy, simple staple job, your color, as long as you can easily breathe thru it, In the old days, we used to blow cigarette smoke thru as a test. different finishes https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHZN_enUS963US963&sxsrf=ALeKk00rMhZR9sQI_Q6a__oyoznLSS3NLw:... tweeters replaced is a good thing, those dynaudio 21’s burn out easily, I replaced mine with focals. two patents, unique advantages, they were designed with wheels, they move here and there easily. I changed mine from 4 to 3 wheels, more weight per wheel, always wobble free. |
