Given you stated that the room will remain untreated, it may already been brought up...but I would include a serious room correction capability with any proposed speaker setup. ARC (Anthem) and Dirac are popular and somewhat user friendly options....I've used and have been pleased with Anthem but also treated my dedicated room. Speaker wise, a nice pair of any of the larger Martin Logan offerings will put you in the middle of the concert. Enjoy your search.
Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound
Hello- I am looking to spend about 20-30k on used speakers ( guessing they would have been -40K new a few years back). Any suggestions welcome. I have a 14*20 room and I am looking for dynamics, potentially a great sounding horn or equivalent. Excited by Tektons but since I have the budget wondering if there's anything better. I did have the JBL M2s that I really enjoyed and Revel Salon 2s that I didn't so much
Thank you!

I recently purchased the Izumi monitor model, which has the same tweeter and woofer, and could not be happier, I have owned probably a dozen or more monitors, T+A, Raidho, Canton, Audiovector, TAD,.. and these win. Hopefully someone will snag these at a great price! Leading edge, transients and speed are all there. |
One of the best speakers I ever heard were the Yamaha NS1000. They make a new series in the place of the NS1000s which are the NS5000 speakers. Worth a listen. https://youtu.be/SJ14fyv9xZo?si=fNHDxfQrs6X3BM_2 The other was the ESS with the Air Motion transformers. They were the model with a 12" woofer in a square cabinet with the AMT sitting on top of each woofer. I think a company still makes them. |
