I thought the 6 1/2 height was a typo for 8 1/2. Evidently not. It's nice to know that Gandalf brought the Shire some modern gear ;)
What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase?
I'm looking for a high performance all around musical speaker. My previous speakers are:
Bose 501 - I was young and they served a purpose
Infinity SM150 - terrible from the start
Boston Acoustics T1000 - actually a nice all around speaker
Polk SDA-SRS1tl - loved the full sound, not accurate at all
Thiel 2.3 - Very dry sounding
B&W N802 - perhaps my favorite, but needed to be played loud
Thiel 3.7 - I think Jim's cancer affected his hearing
B&W 802D - 1st gen, still have.....please stop my ears from bleeding
What do you suggest?

Another vote for Legacy Audio. I have the Signature SE's but, if I had your room size, I would have spent the (very little) additional money on the Focus. My Signatures aren't technically full range, but are close enough. And they allow plenty of detail and are not at all harsh (seems you have had issues with that before). Enjoy the journey. PS--I got the upgraded midbass driver.

I currently have the same preamp and amps and went with Sonus Farber speakers. I would stay away from KEF or any other company with metal tweeters. I had KEF Reference 5’s and they hurt my ears even at lower levels. I tried a couple of other speakers with beryllium tweeters and had similar issues. With the SF use soft dome tweeters and it’s made a world of difference for me. All the best. |
