As I posted in a separate thread, I tried the Spectron Musician III with my Focal 1027be's. No synergy to be found, especially the bass which was surprisingly loose and flabby (maybe the demo amp didnt have enough hrs?). The Focal 1037be may be a better match but I doubt it. I really wanted to like the Spectron after positive reviews but, as always, a serious in-home audition with my room accoustics, cables, front end etc, proved the only way to judge compatability.
Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices
I like all kinds of music. My new room is 13.5x21x9. My amp is Spectron Mus. III SE MK2 w/ all MIT cabling. Speakers are: PBN EPX, Thiel 3.7, Revel studio 2, Dynaudio Contour S5.4, and Focal 1037BE. Speaker will be on short(13.5") wall. Speaker must excell in imaging,resolution,midrange presence,dynamics,tight articulate bass(no muddy midrange,or bloat),and full freq. range. I now have Dali Helicon 400 MK 2. I love the Dali's imaging but, I can't get past a little midrange glare. Tried speaker cables,amps,room postioning,etc. Nothing seems to tame this speakers voicing in this room. Now my old room was 23x28x14 and the Dalis sang in that room. I had more weight and and bass in the larger older room. I would have never guessed that the Dali's would be leaner in the newer smaller room. Help, Opiions needed. If you can think of other speakers in the 5K to 8K range that may work for me then let me have it.
