You might want to check out the Sonus Faber / Audio Research rooms on the top floor. I thought both the Venere 3 and Olympica 2 were very musical sounding. After a long search for new speakers I just purchased a pair of their Elipsa SE or Red.
Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015
Hello All,
My new medium sized room (15 X 18 X 8) is now complete and I have moved my system into this room. The sound in this room seem so very "open". I have never had this size room before, all dedicated to audio. I feel I need bigger speakers to fill the room - especially in the bass area.
I would be going to the AXPONA 2015 in Chicago next week and would like to visit as many roomas as I can - especially the ones that are demoing loudspeakers. But here is what I am looking for:
1. Price range of $5-$7K
2. Sensitivity of at least 89db at 8 ohms
3. Floor stander
4. Full range (though may not cover the last octave), but should not need a subwoofer to complement bass
5. Musicality over hyper-detailed
Can you folks please suggest some speakers that meet these criterias?
I will most likely go with a Oppo BDP-105D as a CDP upgrade. Also will retain the TVC, as it is so transparent and a great match to my amplifier.
Thanks!
