this is a personal opinion of course, but the the chapman 6 or 7 is just about as good as it gets. balanced, not fussy, and as articulate on the bottom as most speakers costing much more, and a touch of sweetness in the presentation. I have listened to lots of alons in minneapolis, and ann arbor(when there were dealers there, and they are fine, but the 'magic' that certain designs have(for me) just wasn't there.
I am at a crossroads, what two sets of speakers...
I am dusting off my old rig after a couple years of rehabbing an old house. I have for the past few years been on the lookout for two sets of speakers. The Chapman t-7s and a small footprint alon/nola have been on my radar without much luck.
I know find myself with a bit of a too much of a good thing situation and am looking for any advice.
I am in a position to get both, in fact I am looking at a pair of Chapman t-7s and a pair of Chapman t-6s, and a pair of Alon Lotus SE spakers.
All are in great shape, but I can only do two of the three sets. If I had my Odyssey Nightingales sold, I would go for all three.
I am leaning toward the Alons and one of the Chapman pairs, but not sure what to do. The Alons are local, and have only seen one pair within driving distance in the last 4 years.
On the other hand, I have seen a total of about 5 sets of Chapman speakers in that time frame total.
The Chapmans are hard to come by, and that is why I have been struggling with the choice.
Any help or suggestions would be great.
