Bauer speakers?
I'm in the US. and not seeing any U.S. distribution. Too bad they look nice.

Sound characteristics I'm looking for? Not sure if it's possible but while I love the sound of the Martin Logan's, sense of being there, they lack punch some box speakers seem to have, and my biggest complaint is that while they sound great if your head is in the perfect spot, move your head up or down a foot or move two feet to the side and the sound collapses. Sit on the floor, stand up or move to the side on the couch and the quality of sound goes down dramatically. Sure I know, I know with most speakers there is a window where they sound best, but even my old Hales Transcendence 1s, still sound good whether I'm sitting on the couch, lying on the floor or walking around v.s. the Martin Logan's only sound great from one very small spot in the room. I'm looking for speakers, which do a good job in the midrange but also with cymbals and kick drums, string bass, have the you are there wow factor and have a large sweet spot AND decent WAF e.g. skinny. If need be I'd change amps, let go of the PrimaLuna Prologue Seven Mono blocks I'm currently using. Thanks for all your suggestions. |
What a lot of great input! I love the way everyone brings their own personal passion to this thread, from detailed descriptions of favorite speakers to one person who took the time to research and provide links to listings of used speakers for sales that matched my criteria. One speaker no one mentioned that has piqued my interest for years is Decware's HR1. Doesn’t meet the skinny criteria but on the smaller side and is yes a bid odd looking with what looks like a hat on top. |
