Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound

Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound

My first thought was a line array and/or dipole speaker like the Nola Baby Grand, Genesis Forte, etc., but they are mostly out of your price range even used.  But I found this Pure Audio Project speaker that may well do everything you’re looking for yet starts at under $13k new, and there are a couple available used on USAM.  Just another option to ponder, and best of luck.

Rockport 

Fischer & Fischer

Add Vivid Giya G3 or G2 to your audition list.  I recommend looking no further.  True timbre, balanced frequency response, fast, dynamic, excellent leading edge and decay, holographic sound stage.  Get past their eccentric form, the lack of horns, and give them the front end and amplification they deserve and they will provide musical bliss.  Read professional reviews.  Used they will be in your price range.  Contact the importer…GTT Audio in NJ (www.gttaudio.com).  They may have some used on their site.  No vested interest.  Just a great dealer.  

Rockports or Wilson’s.

Fast, great transient response, very coherent, and don’t have the coloration of horn drivers. With your price range you owe it to yourself to take your time, use your ears, not ours. 

Horns are for PA systems.

Ok folks, you heard this genius. Sell your horns.
