the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data?
I am curious how the experts choose speakers when upgrading? What are the priorities, what would make you stretch your budget?
Based on e.g....
I don’t have buyer’s remorse for my last pair but I sure made some stupid choices until I got there, that I could have avoided if I had known about this forum sooner.
I think I prefer three things in this order: warmth, upper midrange and details. I think I have those from my current speakers - Evoke 20s so I would like add more presence, speed and disappearing speakers/imaging. I’d like to stick with bookshelf, but you may be right. I have huge respect for Vienna Acoustics. I will send you my list of 70 speaker brands, it helps me put things in context. |
@grislybutter I’m afraid that a list of 70 speakers wouldn’t do much for me… I’m not in the market. I just want to hear what other people have… And I wish you could hear my setup. I mean I have speed, detail and imaging in spades with my OGY. It’s just not the most dynamic. Maybe you could move up the chain and have it all with floorstanders… You gotta try some speakers. |
@kokakolia right, I won't bother you with it, I just wanted to show how I narrow it down. |
