hi guys i hav a bright nakamichi av-8 amp. i am looking for moderately priced under $1000 laid bacl speakers which u should not get fatigued after listening to.. any suggestions are welcome..
I second the Vandersteen nomination. I have a pair of 2Ci's and they are mellow, laid back, whatever you wish to call it. A very easy speaker to listen to and very forgiving of upstream electronics. Scottht, I'm intrigued by your suggestion of removing the socks for a different sound. How does this change the speaker? Sometimes I think they're too mellow. Does sock removal help?
For about a $1000- you might want to try the Ohm MicroWalsh Tall. Although they are laid-back, I think of them more as smooth (while still maintaining a neutral sound). I like the Vandys too, but fot my room I like the Ohms better.
