Speaker List narrowed down…


 

This is the final post in a follow up to my two previous posts of “Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker” and “My wife weighed in she wants piano white tower/bookshelf “

Details:

Price range - below $25k

Color: Flexible now but Aesthetics count as it’s a centerpiece to our new gathering room

Also, the only source will be a turntable - Macintosh MT-10 and MP-100 (to be purchased and that’s it), amp is the Rose hifi RS 520 which is 250 wpc and I value the mid-range.

I have pictures of my room but no idea how to post (audiogon clearly hasn’t updated their technology from 30 years ago).

Final Choices with notes:

Fyne Audio 8 (new) or 10 used

Estalon Aura (but too close to wall an issue?),

Reynaud Abscisse Jubilee (beautiful how’s the midrange?)

YG Acoustics 3, (Looks nice narrow baffle)

PS Audio FR20 or 10, (even the 10may be too big)

Perilstein S7T.

Focal Sopra 3

THOUGHTS?

PS Audios are Fantastic and the Borresen's in White are very easy on the ears .

@grislybutter 

thanks - what free image hosting site are people here using? I’m not familiar with this. 

@aj523 

I have used https://imgbb.com/  and it seemed painless, I know there are a few easy ones and some that may or may not want your email address and sell you a new roof. 

Aside from that, I usually use google drive or aws but that's outside "free"/public

 

 

I really like ProAc reference towers (if you can listen to them) given the following:

  • down-firing port for flexible placement
  • slim design, yet very good bass response plus nice wood options to pick from
  • multiple tweeter configurations
  • they look good with the grills on, even better with the grills off
  • even better with soundocity or similar outriggers
