I have some hearing loss and need some help with speakers that do voices real well, so far I have liked Vienna Acoustics Beethoven, Sonus Faber Amator II, but would like a little more detail in the midrange. My price range is about 5k or less.
I have Thiel 3.6's, which do midrange really well, but need lots of power. I just heard Von Schweikert VR-4's and thought they do voices amazingly well and are more efficient (89db vs 86db for the Thiels).
You MUST check into Silverline Sonatas. Fantastic mids, great imageing(sp) works well with tube or SS. Retails for 6k but I've seen them for less on Agon. The Mkll has 2 woofers and offers better bass than Mkl but that's the only sound difference.
Hi Lmathias, You have listened two excellent pairs of speakers that IMO do voices very well. As good or better than some that have been mentioned. If you have been listening to them in a dealers showroom, this could be the problem. Different equipment or wires may be all that is needed to give you what you are looking for. Give them another try. Much success in your hunt.
