My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf


This is a follow up post to my “Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker.

Price range - below $25k 

In quote “A gorgeous Piano white” - tower or bookshelf 

Aesthetics count as it’s a centerpiece to our new gathering room

... hard to Rx any speaker with small info on the final space other than There 
Will Be Furniture....normally a Good Thing within reason, but one's spouse generally will have different views on that subject.....

Good hunting to all on the Endeavour...

@dekay .....Had been to the Qualio site previously, and painted white won't cure the look.....  Gotta like the naked tech, which even mine grits her teeth at my Walsh,,,,

....and at that price point, I'd certainly improve on that....but still keep their quintessential strangeness, on floor, stranded on stands or shelves.

Only your EQ will vary. ;)

PMC stand mount or floor stander! Great base from very small enclosures. Outstanding WAF!

Depends what components you use with the Devilles. I’m using all Shindo , amp , pre amp and MrT. with 2 Rel S510 subs and believe me you would be quite impressed on the SQ . Everything is cabled with Luna red series and the synergy is just fabulous. Every system takes time to build and believe me I went also through the path of trial and error until my ears were pleased to what I loved to hear. My wife and I just can’t stop listening,absolutely no fatigue but pure enjoyment.

FWIW, while I love the looks of the Estelon Aura, keep in mind that it is bottom firing, not bottom ported. The woofer is facing downwards, so it generates a lot of bass toward the floor which also dissipates to the rear of the speaker. It is recommended that the Aura are also placed quite a distance from the walls, or else it will sound boomy and muffled. A number of the reviews cover this. Many of the speakers being recommended are not paying attention to your room and living constraints.

KEF Reference 5 Meta White/Gold... I'm sure you have the electronics to push these around.
