Yeah, the Yaras were nice but they already sold. I definitely wouldn't rule out another AP speaker. I'm also intrigued by the new Joachim Sonics Anima despite the size -- but paired with a decent sub.
Speaker for Rogue Cronus Magnum with high WAF
I'm speaker shopping ($2.5k budget), and I'd like to poll all Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum owners -- and other Rogue owners -- on their favorite speakers with good WAF. My listening area is fairly large (20' x 28') with a lot of curtain-less windows and little options on acoustical treatments. I listen to mainly vinyl but some lossless files as well, and my tastes range from 60-70s reggae, indie-rock, electronic, Afrobeat and jazz. I had been using a pair of Audio Physic Yaras Bookshelfs and really like them, but they're too small for my room and am not a huge fan of subwoofers. I'm leaning toward floorstanders but could be swayed toward monitors on stands. (I'd love to go with a pair of Vandersteen 2CEs but the wife doesn't approve, and the cat will think they're the best scratching posts ever.) I'm looking for advice from my fellow Rogue owners, and I really don't want to hear "Oh, but if you could just spend $1k more, you'd love the..." -- $2.5k is even a little stretch.
