My first choice would be the Cornwall’s, JBL makes some great speakers as well. but You might want to look beyond the L100’s
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.

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. |
I prefer my Heresy IIIs over the IVs (I owned a pair for through "break-in" and sold 'em) because the titanium mid horn sounds better than the "polyimide." I mean way better. I'd like to hear Forte IIIs for that reason although my Heresy IIIs are so good I'm in no hurry to wrestle those things into my house. |
