Might want to look into the Ohm Microwalsh Speakers. There is a thread that is on this first page about them. It is a different sound but one that I greatly enjoy. Large soundstage, big sweet spot (which is important for me as both my wife and I listen together), and not harsh. I also listen to a variety of music (classical, electronica, hip-hop, rock, etc.) and I found them to be a versatile speaker.
New speakers
Short list:
On the search for new (or used)speakers...
Room is 9x15-ish... equipment on long wall...
Current setup"
Sugden A48b
Rotel RCD 971
NHT 1.5
Energy ESW-V8 sub
Wish to replace the NHT's with a mor open sounding speaker. The NHT's sound closed in and a bit veiled in the midrange. Further, the treble is somewhat extended, but harsh and biting (i love extended treble, but not at the cost of harshness. My girlfriend can't STAND the treble).
Bass won't be an issue as I have the Energy sub dialed into the room quite nicely and will be keeping it.
Current short list:
Totem Arro
Totem Staff
Totem Hawks
StudioLab Reference 1
Epos M12.2 (NOT M12i)
Epos M15.2
Audio Physic Yara II classic
GMA Europa
Quad 12L
anyone chime in w/ what might work? I listen to everything under the sun and do not want to be restricted to 'audiophile recordings only'.
Thanks for any input.
