She let's me go play golf ANY time I want and never reminds me about her levity.
For that alone I'm willing to make sacrifices.

She sounds great. Speaker swapping is fun. Thanks for letting us in on it. Here are my ideas: 1) Totems. The Arro mini-tower sounds very musical to me, is small and can go right next to a wall. Very nice-looking wood veneer, amazing sound for a small driver. Totem floorstanders 2)Aurum Cantus. These guys made the Red Rose monitor that sold for three grand. The Leisure 2 SE model has a ribbon tweeter, a Kevlar-carbon fiber mid-woofer and 14 coats of lacquer over real wood. It looks gorgeous, sounds pretty decent in the bass and mids and is magical in the highs. Canadian Aurum Cantus distributor's page (Sorry I don't know the US source for these.) |
I just built a pair of Eska floor standing monitors which I think are a bit special, at least with my home-built Alan Kimmel-designed EL34 amp. I like the way that George "voices" his speakers, and he is "the man" when it comes to passive crossover design. Also, I think his North Creek Spirits got favorably reviewed recently in one of the mags. Check out http://northacoustics.com/ Hope this helps! Doug |
The Platinum Audio Solo's currently for sale have excellent WAF since they are not tall, but rather a little deeper front to back than other stand-mounted speakers. The sound quality is surprisingly wonderful for the price, with a musicality, and bass capability, qualifying it as a used best buy. Not affiliated with the seller, just a fan who remembers them in one of my past system setups. |
