Proac d28. Warm and yet still open and detailed. Superb speakers. There's a pair of dynaudio focus 340s for sale right now in your price range. I've owned a pair before and they are dream speakers and worth every penny of their $7500 retail price. They are very close to the confidence line IMO. Sonus faber Cremona Ms would also work. How about Usher mini dancer 2s? Also in your price range and superb speakers.
Full-range recommendations
Hi all,
Looking for recs for a good full-range speaker, used, in the $3-4K range, maybe a bit more if it's worth it. I want these to be speakers I keep for 20 years or so.
My listening room for the next few years is quite small: 11x14x7; however, we'll move in a bout five years and I anticipate having a bigger listening room.
I'm running a 150w/ch LSA Statement integrated and listen to a variety of jazz, folk-rock, rock, and piano through a Rotel 1072 cd and a Pro-Ject 5.1SE tt.
I like a warm, open sound. My current monitors are Reference 3A de Capo i's. Beautiful monitors, but lacking in the bass extension - and I'm loathe to use a sub. What i don't want is a dry, neutral sound.
Let me know what other questions I would need to answer, and thank you for your advice.
