Great list there. Vimberg Mino is great, but good luck finding a set for $20k or less. Magico A3 is also excellent. I think I'm leaning A3 at this point. As to Focal, I think I'd take Sopra 2 over Kanta 3. Persona 5F has excellent clarity and soundstage, but will tell you all about an overly bright recording. Heard the new SF Nova towers at RMAF and they sounded great, with impressive bass slam for the size of the drivers. Also, for your genres, look at Audio Solutions Figaro L, which is a lot of speaker for $10k. Audio Solutions also has Virtuoso S, which is even better, at the top of your price range. I heard Virtuoso M at RMAF, which was very impressive with full symphony.
Looking for speaker advice-$10-20k
I'm upgrading speakers and am soliciting opinions. 16x27 ft room, Anthem STR Integrated. Mostly Jazz, accoustic, country, classic rock. No electronic. Looking at Sonus Fabre Nova III or V, Paradigm Persona 5F, Magico A3, Dynaudio 660i, Focal Kanta 3 or Sopra 2 or Totem Wind. I've heard the Totems, will hear others this weekend, but would appreciate informed opinions. I need the support of a good dealer, so used not really an option. That also kind of limits brand choice-not comfortable ordering online and trusting my (nonexistent) skills when things go wrong.
Thanks!
Thanks!
