I was so excited to see your thread title headline and then see your
target brands. I recall making some suggestions which it seems you
attempted.
I have faith that your dedication to this task will bear the fruit you
seek. And since the whole fam damily went on the first junket, my bet
is next time they will say-"Oh go ahead without us this time". 'That
was truly a Once in lifetime adventure'. Reads Been there not going again.
All the baggage you dragged along was nice a "Family vacation" but next time go on a solo,
Dali are great sounding speakers. Nearly bought a used pair for
$3k? in Montana. Fives? maybe 5-7 years old, Sonus faber looking
and heavy!
Now the disappointments-
-How does someone who designs speakers for a living allow them to be heard in an untreated room? Hard to wrap your head around that.
-No Go on the Tannoys! Darn it all. I have them. Hawthorne audio in Seattle is a dealer. Not so close unless you go by train.
Next time ask what is available to hear and burned in. New Tannoys exceed your budget slightly. Tannoy does not do shows in the US-to my knowledge.
How far is it to Minneapolis? Or Chicago?
Keep on shopping if you can.
I am a nut who drove 1,000 miles to get an XO rebuilt.
Not every wife buys into that package.
Good luck!!
