Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice
Hello Audiogon,
I'm a pretty new to the world of audio and looking to make a signifiant upgrade from my first self purchased speaker, the Q Acoustics 3030i. I was encouraged by an audiophile friend to join Audiogon and post a question regarding what speaker would be best.
I decided to pick up a much nicer amplifier last year, upgrading from a Cambridge AXR85 to a Rogue Sphinx V3. This 2024 I am wanting to make a similar upgrade to my speakers. I wanted a more dynamic amplifier and found the Cambridge to smooth when combined with my Q Acoustics.
I have my own listening room but it's rather small 11ft x13ft. I listen to mostly heavy metal/rock music at 70-85 decibels. I have looked at been cross shopping the Buchart S400 mkII, Dynaudio Evoke 20, Zu DWX, Arendale 1723 - but have also heard good things about vintage Usher speakers..
Thanks for your consideration and advice here.
cheers

@csmgolf I would like to stay under 3k. I have been researching the Polk SDA speakers, and it looks like I can find some at around 1-1.5k . It's a really underrating vintage speaker... While they are designed to be placed against my front wall, I wonder about the distance between each speaker and the side walls.. Each speaker would start about 20 inches from the sides walls and start roughly 50 inches from each other - I fear that would not only be less than ideal, but problematic. Interesting to see such division over the golden ears.... @helomech @mijostyn - do I need class A/or pure tubes for Klipsch speakers? I would worry that my Rogue Sphinx would make them harsh and fatiguing... |
