Downsizing for Blade 2 and hunting for smaller floor standers
I live in apartments and love small , tall, thin, powerful speakers. I went from Dynaudio C2 to Blade 2 and am in absolute love with it. However, this whole thin and tall thing has scratched a new itch of me and I kept wanting to go leaner and smaller. I have thought about Beolab 28 which seems to be going for the extreme and also maybe the LS60, which feels like a downgrade in sound quality. So I wonder if there is something else I should consider to make my speaker smaller without significantly compromise full range sound quality.

Sounds like you have the need a new toy disease. The Blades are great speakers. If you really like them it will be hard and costly to find a superior replacement. Remember since even good speakers vary a lot it matters that you pick one that has the pluses you need and doesn't have anything that bothers you. In an imperfect world balancing all the qualities of speakers that's a hard thing to do, especially if you convince yourself you need to find new speakers. Better to live with ones you love and audition speakers over time with no commitment to buy and wait til you come across one that grabs your attention(and then take your time auditioning it over time). |
+1 @hilde45 I had a pair of Ascend Acoustic Sierra towers with raal tweeters too, for like 7 years. They were absolutely wonderful, wide clear sound, not tiring, with amazing bass for their size. I just moved to larger speakers to get a more immersive sound in my then new house of stereo. And David at Ascend is the nicest owner you will ever meet. |
