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. |
