LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ?


Hi,

I'm running a pair of VTL MB185 Mono Amps and I'm interested in replacing my speakers. I do like good imaging, but I also enjoy being able to listen to music with someone. That being said, does anyone have a suggestion for speakers that don't have a tiny sweetspot? (please don't say Bose Acoustimass, lol!) I've been reading about the Von Schweikert, Silverline and Avatar. Does anyone have an opinion on them or any other? I have about $3000.00 to spend on the used market.

Thansk!

Wow! All of these suggestions sound good. Actually, right now, I'm using B&W 801 Matrix 3 speakers. I was thinking of replacing them anyway, because (although they do sound pretty good)I think I might be able to find a better match for my amplifiers. I did toy with the idea of spending $1600.00 on the Northcreek crossover upgrade, but I'm not sure if that money will be well spent. I though that I'd be better off starting from scratch with a new speaker.
Hi,

Thanks for the comment on my B&W 801 speakers. Unfortunately, the main problem is that they're not very efficient. Also, I wasn't sure if I'd be better off selling these speakers instead of investing another $1600.00 in the North creek crossover upgrade. Any thoughts on that?

Thanks, Nick
