If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers


To listen to at the upcoming Axpona, in the 10 - 20k range driven by a great solid state amp which ones would you search for? Yes understand listening conditions and room setups can make or break a system but just trying to narrow some choices. Thank you.

Verity

Devore (Gibbon)

Cessaro (never heard in that low price range but want to)

Fyne (own currently)

Rockport (probably used in this range)

Everyone and their brother will list many combinations but each of the above does something special in my own opinion so your mileage will vary.

 

 

Magnepan

Vandersteen

Volti Audio

PS Audio

Martin

Devore Fidelity

Salk

 

 

@soix I had the Gershman monitor and it was terrible. A subwoofer trying to make sense of midrange is dull. At first listen it was relaxing and I was waiting for a transformation but it never happened. Are you speaking of their next levels? Maybe with 100k of Nordost cables it would sound more lively.

@bjesien I’ve never heard their monitor, only the Avant Garde and one of their older GAP models and they always surprise me by being some of the best sounds I hear at shows.  Most recently I heard the Avant Garde at the NYC show a few months ago, and once again they were in my top 3 for sound at the show, and there were some good speakers there.  Just my experience FWIW.
