Looking for Speaker Recommendations
Hi,
I am getting a new system and am looking for speaker recommendations. I will have a ma8950 and will, at least initially, be streaming exclusively. Focal and B & W are too bright and fatiguing. Wilson SabrinaX are good except for the price. Any thoughts? Thanks.
recent purchase ... Joseph Perspective 2, wonderful ... paired with CREEK Voyage i20 ... https://www.creekaudio.com/products/integrated-amplifiers/voyage-i20/ ... and https://www.stereophile.com/content/joseph-audio-perspective-loudspeaker-perspective2-graphene ... difficult to think that any combo could sound much better |
Stick to Wilson, buy something used from a dealer. Nothing compares to Wilson. Sonus Faber is very veiled, I can not enjoy them. It feels like you listen behind a curtain. There are many fans of Sonus Faber Amator, I never had a chance to listen. I love Alta Audio speaker, excellent sound, great clarity and sound stage. They are great for jazz music. I agree with you, focal and B&W are too bright, they cause ear fatigue after 30 min. Stay away from Magnepans and similar variety, to complicated to deal with them. Space, size and positioning is a big deal. Good luck. |
