I personally would go with the Vandersteen in that list too.The F30's are also an excellent choice. Though dont do it because they are "phase and time" correct. Phase and time correct speakers dont equal a better listening experience or better soundstaging for that matter. If our listening rooms didnt have reflective surfaces then this may be something to be worried about, but real world accoustics prove otherwise. But before you buy any speakers, audition them in the room they plan to be setup in first.
Narrowing down floorstander selection.
I'm narrowing down my speaker choices and would be interested to hear any thoughts about these four speakers:
Von Schweikert VR2
Vienna Acoustics Beethoven
Dyanaudio Aucience S82
Vandersteen 3aSig
If anyone has suggestions for other speakers in the 2-4K range, I'd be curious to hear them also. I am ruling out planars and horns, either for reasons of demo availablility or taste. Also, I intend to avoid the addition of subwoofer(s) to augment my setup, at least for the time being.
I intend to purchase electronics after deciding on the speakers.
My room is very large with high ceilings, and placement is
flexible.
I listen to the usual eclectic range 'o stuff, but with a heavy emphasis on large scale orchestral classical.
Thanks for your help.
