Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 ($349) or 10.2 ($449)with Sanus all steel stands will be less than $500. I have the 10.1 and am very happy in a medium room. The sound is full, rich, extended with more bass than you expect and life-like voices and strings and shimmering but not bright highs.
Which $500 Speaker Next?
I'm going to be buying a new pair of speakers in a few weeks and wanted to get some input from you all.
My equipment is Classe CA-150 amp, lightspeed attenuator...
Looks are important, I like detail, imaging, tight well defined bass, maybe a little forward sound... My listening room is a small to medium sized bedroom
Brands I'm looking at:
Swan D1.1se
LSA .5 or 1.0
B&W 601 S3 or 685 local
Tannoy Revolution DC6
Focal 705v or 806v
Selah Audio
PSB Stratus Golds local (completly different from the others here)
NSM 10s local
And Anything else here on the Gon around $500.
I like all types of music. Vocal and drums need to sound good, along with guitars.
Thanks ahead of time for your input!
