Just a suggestion, but you really should consider the Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2. They have a 30 day return window, so you're only out shipping if you don't care for them, but they are really nice stand mounts. I went through a whole bunch before settling on these. My second choice would be the Dynaudio X12's - they image like crazy, but I needed a little fuller sound because my room is pretty big. And my favorite thing about the Sierra 2's is that they sound great at lower volumes. I'm powering mine with a Rega Elex-R. Good luck.
High-End Standmounts: KEF LS50W vs. NOLA Boxer II vs. Revel M106
Hi everyone.
I'm wondering which you'd give the nod to for:
- A small room
- Pushing primarily vinyl (Planar 3), cd (OPPO 105), and TV
- Music comprising mainly rock and roll, orchestral classical, jazz and blues
- And, as necessary, a Sonneteer Alabaster 55wpc amplifier
As for the LS50W, the promise of ridding myself of an amplifier is offset by (likely) having to get a phono stage.
Your general impressions would be greatly appreciated!
