I second Bobheinatz suggestions concerning the Merlin TSM-MX. I own a pair, and I'm driving them with a Manley Stingray. Great combo, very involving! Took delivery of the TSM-MX, early May, and I've been nothing but impressed with the sound of those speakers. They're are mounted on Osiris stands, filled with sands.
feedback on a new system please
I finally am taking the step to get a good system in my nyc apartment. the main room for listening has appx. 10ft ceilings, and is 20x20. my intent however is not to fill or overwhelm the room (neighbors upstairs!).
I like a clean sounds without dominating bass. I do not want to play very loud. I have been considering the following combination:
arcam 33 cd player, appx $1700
krell 400xi integrated am, appx $2500
sonus faber auditor bookshelves, appx $4000
very open to feedback, in particular any viewpoints on the Musical Fidelity A5 vs. Krell 400xi (both are about $2500), and alternatives to the sonus fabers. thx!
