Speaker recommendations :-)


Hi there good people 

In short, wanted to hear your ideas. I am into jazz and acoustic music and this is my equipment list, maybe it will help. Listening room is around 50m2 of area.  At this moment i dont have speakers, sold last one already. ( Wilson Sophia 3 ). 

Lamm M1.2Ref. monos,  

Lamm LL1.1. preamp ,

Lamm LP1 Phono. 

dCS Apex Vivaldi Dac + Cd+ Clock + Upsampler

Turntable: Chronos Pro

 

I am not looking for the “best speakers in the Universe”, just wanted to hear some ideas , maybe they will lead to new  interesting synergy of my system.

 

Thank you for your time :-)

You have an outstanding system capable of driving a large number of speakers -- the point is to get speakers performing at the level of your electronics.

As you are located in Croatia, I'd suggest you start with EU  products first in order to get the best value for money.

Here are some subjective recommendations:

Estelon (from Estonia) makes high resolution speakers with very good frequency response characteristics. I liked the Estelon X diamonds, but they also offer smaller models.

Apertura (France) make excellently balanced speakers with very large real ribbon tweeters, and their sense of timing, dynamics, and reproduction of ambience (live jazz, for example) are exemplary. These are high sensitivity.

Fink audio ("Borg") and Goebel Marquis (from Germany) are superbly engineered products with outstanding dynamics, the Borg is cheaper than the Marquis.

Of course the Kharma (Holland) Exquisite classique is a good all rounder that fits well in your room and looks very good (BTW, so does Estelon - if a bit unusual).

Turning to other choices, Wilson make excellently engineered products. Your room probably needs the Sasha.

Of course there are many choices out there and half the fun is in the auditioning!

Ozzy.... I heard them....The bass is incredibly Tight and really deep...They say it's the way they design their drivers and  enclosures...Maybe this in New School......I ponied up and bought a pair...8 week wait.....Listen to them and you will "hear" what everyone is talking about. I actually thought they were more impressive than their 100K speakers.

Well, I have yet to own a pair but they're definitely on my Wishlist - JBL's Everest DD 67000 which sell brand new for $41,250.00 each.  I best start saving my duckette's, huh?  Either these or the next down JBL's pecking order, the JBL K2 S9900, which are also not cheap at $24,200.00 each?   The Everest I believe has a Dual 15" Woofer's, a 4" Midrange Compression Driver, and I believe a 1" High Frequency Compression Driver.  I believe the K2 S9900 has the same except just a single 15" Woofer!   In my mind, you can't go wrong with either!   Or both! 

I have my Silverline La Folia II speakers listed on Audiogon right now.

I don't think there is a better tube amp speaker under $10K for sure.

Only selling because I am moving out of state.
