Speaker upgrade
Good morning all, hope everyone is well.
My planned HIFI change for 2023 is a change in loudspeakers. My top contenders are JBL L100, Klipsch Forte IV or Corwall IV’s, another couple I am very interested in are the Volit Razz, and possibly the Paradigm F80.
System consists of Rogue RP-1, Rogue Atlas Mag III, Line Magnetic CD-24, MOFI Master deck and Master tracker.
Room is an untreated living room 15x15, hardwood with thick throw rug and lightly furnished.
I have listened to the Klipsch and the Paradigm, enjoyed them both. They are different animals as one would imagine.
I listen to mostly Jazz, Rock and "American Roots" (not modern country).
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.
Where are you located? I am always amazed that people seeking help do not think to mention where they live. Someone on this forum could be next door to you and own the exact speaker you want to hear.

Hi I have had Klipsch Heresy IV's and Forte IV's. I didn't have the courage to buy and carry Cornwall's into my small place. I didn't know what I was hearing until I head NSMT 100's. The difference between a horn and a silk dome covered tweeter was large. So before you buy more horns I would suggest hearing non horns then it may help you pick. I did like the sound of the Forte's over the Heresy's. Best jh |
You can add the Fyne Vintage line to your list. https://www.whathifi.com/news/fyne-vintage-speakers-promise-retro-looks-and-cutting-edge-technology As others have said the Paradigm are different to the rest and if you like them then a lot of other brands could probably suit you too. For example Sonus Faber, Focal, Dynaudio or Canton. I am very happy with the small stand mounts in the Canton Reference line but they have bigger speakers with more bass. |
