I'm not familiar with all the speakers mentioned here, so I can't speak for any of them but I've gotten my Merlins a few days ago. It's right in your price range and great for small-medium sized rooms. I would check with Bobby at Merlin, well-worth your time to investigate if you're looking for speakers in this range. I haven't been able to turn off my system ever since I've setted them up in my 20x14 room.
Am i missing some good and lifelike speakers ?tks
Dear ALL, aiming to hear the most natural sounding full range speakers (linear up from 30-35 Hz) I planned to audition so far:
Soundlab Dynastat
Soundlab M-2
Quad ESL 989
Not willing to include impossible to drive speakers, so the most critical shall remain the M-2.
Ideally it should work with my aleph 0,s(40+40W 8 Ohm 3 stages)but I am prepared to invest there too.
Which other transparent and real-like-life speakers shall include in the 5000-10000 USD range ?
As you have noted I indulge on electrostats but can live with a dynamic when it can be involving as real music.
Thanks
