Read reviews of Hyperion HPS-938. Used one runs about $2k. Be sure it was build later than 2004 since they improved bracing. Their website: www.hyperionsound.com Somebody is currently selling on Audiogon for $1900 but you need to ask year. Not too many speakers within $10k can touch it. Very musical and relaxed but also very detailed with incredible midrange and soundstage. Not the best speaker for rock or metal because of this relaxed sound. It also has big dynamics - I know that combination of dynamics and relaxation sounds strange but it is possible.
2k$ speakers that meet my criteria?
I have been doing a lot of research and thought I might as well see if I can get some direct answers.
I am looking for a speaker with some sweetness (a little) and texture and is very involving in the sound signature. As in musical - not analytical or neutral/dry. Also timbre accurate bass. Without the "one note" bass.
I also put I high value on a large 3d soundstage (it is more involving to me). As well as dynamics.
Placement should not be a HUGE concern. (I want to be able to get comfortable and not loose the sweet spot if I move a few inches)
Bonus points go to those who would match other components to it that would help achieve the sound I am looking for.
I want something that can convey the emotional content and musical/harmonic content of the music.
Thank you all,
Sam
