So what’s the budget?
speakers similar to focal kanta 1
I have reached a point in building my system where I think I should consider a speaker upgrade.
My system is Aurender N10, Yggdrasil, Raven audio Blackhawk.
Current speakers are Focal Aria 906 bookshelf.
I like the 906's and have had them for a couple of years. But, having upgraded the streamer and dac I feel the speakers now could be better. I feel the 906's should be replaced with something with higher resolution
I cam to this conclusion because I tried a N20 in the system. It clearly had a higher resolution than the N10. I felt like the speakers couldn't handle this higher resolution, and I ended up preferring the N10. The soundstage with the N20 wasn't as coherent as with the N10 and my guess is that the speakers weren't good enough and the $ spent on the n20 would be better used for upgraded speakers and maybe dac.
So, liking the 906's I thought of focal kanta 1's but they are quite pricey and I am wondering if there are suggestions of something similar but not quite so expensive. Fritz maybe? It took me quite a few tries to find a speaker I liked. I definitely don't want too bright. I used to easily get listening fatigue, but since getting the N10 and the yggy this is no longer a problem.
Thanks for any help.
