Diva , PSB , Dynaudio or Meadowlark ?

I suggest that you add Soliloquy 6.3 to your list. Contact Audiogon member Underwoodwally for information on Soliloquy and Diva products. I give him my highest recommendation.

I have listened to Diva, PSB, Dynaudio and Siloquy. I would suggest either the Diva or Siloquy. I think they both sound more natural and musical. although they don't have the bass of some of the PSB or Dynaudio--but I never really liked the sound of those speakers very much. Speakers are very personal, while this is my opinion--you will probably find that others feel the exact opposite. That makes it very difficult to recommend a speaker, knowing that personal preferences and the need to listen to them can not be replaced.

My brother and I auditioned the PSB Gold, Dynaudio Contour 3.3 and Soliloquy 6.3. I wanted to like the Dynaudio, but the Soliloquy was an easy winner. Very musical, excellent bass, cleaner midrange. He bought them. Besides, if you ever want to try a lower wattage tube amp the Soliloquy can oblige. Unfortunately, I have not heard the Meadowlarks, although I hear good things about them.

It seems that Soliloquy is a winner so far with Diva running a close 2nd. I had looked at them and forgot it. Didn't think I could afford the 6.3 and am not quite sold on a two way yet. Their 5.3 and the Meadowlark are both 2 way speakers. I had a set of large Advents back in the late 70's which were a 2 way and touted as quite a good speaker in its day. I liked them and was amazed that they could put out such a good sound for only a 2 way. However when I replaced them in the late 80's with a set of Infinity 3 way I could hear a more distinct midrange that I hadn't heard with the Advents. Maybe 2 way technology has advanced since then. I've been out of the market since late 80's until about 5 months ago when I had to replace aging equipment. I realize that speakers are a matter of taste and figure that I will buy used and If I don't like them I will sell them and move on to the next. However it would be nice to get a winner from the beginning. That said are the Soliloquys friendly to all types of music?

My mistake, the Soliloquy 5.3 are a 3 way speaker
