Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
Hello All: Many of us have limited access/ability to audition multiple speakers brands. That got me to thinking- If one had a budget of $20K max, a solid state amp rated at 125WPC, and listened to all varieties of music (primarily rock, pop, folk), what speaker(s) would you be most willing to recommend to that person and feel confident they would be happy with the purchase?
happy new year bud! you raise a good point as the op was interesting in that it gives parameters for price of speakers and amp power but nothing about the room i agree that fritz’s are very nice sounding, but do best in smaller to medium sized rooms...and certainly don't need 125 wpc of amp power to shine... |
@jjss49 Happy new year to you as well! One can not recommend or purchase speakers without consideration given to the room. Yes, the Fritz speakers do best and offer quality bass when placed in smaller rooms. Also serve as a great match with tube or low watt SS amplification. Two my ears their sonics support an expense in quality source and amplification beyond their price.

I use my NS5000 (they are superb) with a CODA #16 amp and Holo Serene preamp. The amp is rated at 150 | 300 | 600. It is great with the NS5000 and I think the most powerful amp I have tried with it. I also have a Sanders Magtech that is 500 | 900 watts, while it is an excellent Class AB amp it does not have the same thunderous bass of the CODA #16. The Sanders is a very strong amp. Next Friday, I am going to demo the SimAudio North Collection 761 (200 watts) with the NS5000. I guess watts and power that I hear are not the same. Otherwise, the Sanders should have been the most powerful with the NS5000. |
