I like my lore s but it's not bottom heavy with my rwa sig 15. I think the regular lore may have better bass. In terms of your other criteria the lore s are great. Plenty loud on my lower power amp. I also tried my rwa with the big floor standing sonus fabers and it was great but they cost more if you buy new. Good luck.
Speakers for RWA Signature 57
Hey Folks -- I am looking for advice on speakers that would be a good match for a RWA Sig 57/ RWA is big on the Harbeths but they are out of my budget. I am looking at <$1500 range for speakers for a small 8 by 20 rectangular room. I listen to mostly funk, afro-latin, classical and R&B and hip/hop a little bit of classic rock. I fell in love with the reserved warmth and detail of the RWA Isabellina pre/dac for my cans so am going to upgrade to the 57 and get out of the cans. I like a big accurate center image, concise but plentiful bottom and will tune the room once everything's in place. I do like to crank it but i don't want to overwhelm the room - right now i am considering the Lore-s and the KEF LS50's but I suspect the Lore-s will be more accommodating on the bottom end for me --- any thoughts ?
