You could also look at Eminent Technology. I'm currently listening to a pair of LFT-8As. These planar hybrids fill my small dedicated room very well with fast, detailed sound. Quite a bit less than your budget but they are nice for the money. Worth a look.
HELP Horns, Stats or Conventional Speakers
OK I am in the market for a new set of speakers and I have narrowed it down the these three types.
Stats, Horns. Conventional and Bose.
Music tastes are very eclectic from The Pistols to Joan Armartrading to Classical to 80s new wave stuff.
I also use my speakers for H/T but this is the least of my concerns.
So with a bank roll of about 5k (Used) do I go for stats horns (I Love the look of the Avantgarde) or Conventional speakers.
To help you make that decision for me I have the following information.
The room is a converted two car garage 17' X 13' X 9" high
I listen to digital > Denon 3910 and vinyl > Romance via a CJ PV15 and Antique Sound Labs Hurricanes Mono
blocks.
I just sold my Ref3s as I found them less than exiting.
I have listened to System Audio SA 1750s and find the small fast drivers to be a better sounding speaker (to me) than speakers with larger drivers.
I like the speed of multiple small drivers as opposed th the 10" woofers. and they are cheap (Less than 2K)
I am at a total loss as the stuff I am looking at will be bought unheard so I need your opinions to try to help me decide.
And that constructive help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
