Sorry, should have mentioned that my room is 16 feet by 20 feet. I would sit around 7 feet away from the speakers, and could move my seating position back further, if needed. I'm only at the research phase now, but I did hear a couple of brands. I heard Kliptsch Reference 800, I believe, and they were great, but something felt like it was missing. I heard a pair of Revel speakers, and those sounded great, but can't remember what they were. I do plan on going out to do more listening, but the responses already have helped me to narrow things down, so thank you!
Excellent Speakers for Classical Music - $2,000 USD Budget
Hello All...I am primarily a classical music listener, leaning more towards solo piano, symphony/orchestral, and chamber music. I have a Rotel A14 integrated amp in which I plan to add mono amplifiers to at some point in the future. I let a pair of B&W 804 Nautilus Speakers slip through my fingers recently. There is a B&W 804 Matrix set for sale near me, but don’t know if the Nautilus are better than the Matrix. So, I let a good pair slip through my fingers. But, it got me to thinking...Are there any other brands that I should consider besides B&W? I had in mind to audition Magenpan and Martin Logan electrostatics. Seeing that I only want to spend around $2,000, does anyone have any ideas?
In my office, I use Adam A7x nearfield monitors with ribbon tweeters, and for headphones, I love my Sennheiser 800S’. I like a nice detailed, clear, and forward sound. Would another ribbon tweeter floor standing set do it for me? Electrostats the way to go?
Looking forward to your suggestions.
