I am not in the same $$$ league but my limited experience with Naim SBLs totally supports @shadorne : going active was a revelation!!! Do not know why it works, but removing passive x-over allowed SBLs to sing!!!
High Quality bi-amp-able full range speakers - choices?
I use 4 monoblocks to power my Artemis Eos 2.1 speakers and I am very happy. However, I have had these speakers for a long while (6 years or so) and am looking around for what I might want to replace them with. I seek full-range speakers that I can get for less than 20k used or new.
As I indicated I want to bi-amp these speakers, but it is fine if they already have powered bass modules with volume adjustability. Most mid to high-end speakers don't allow for bi-amping these days and that is all fine but not my choice. I like the sound of class d on the low frequencies and tubes for mid and top frequencies and would like to continue in that way. I would like to keep my current amps (Jolida Fusion monoblocks, and Wyred 4 Sound mAmps). I am sure that they provide plenty of power for any speakers suitable for my 19 x 20 x 13 ft room.
So far the only choices that I have found are TAD CR-1's, and Revel Ultima Salon 2. I am sure there are many more but it is hard to see the speaker connections online. Please give me more options.
