Best full range loudspeaker for the used price of 10 to 13,000 dollars
Beware...Devore O/96 need room to breathe but they do sound great in the open. I prefer the Harbeth 40.2 over the Devores in a tighter space. For your price range, my personal recommendation is the Vandy Quatro, smooth and very musically. Perfect tight bass, beautiful mid range and the imaging is just awesome. Really depends on the type of music you listen too but give it a listen. Good luck! |
Nothing mentioned yet can equal or best these: https//www.audiogon.com/listings/full-range-legacy-audio-aeris-full-warranty-2017-03-19-speakers-34990-palm-city-fl http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649118161-legacy_aeris_rosewood_black_pearl_3_monthe_old_mint/ or... Nola Brio Trio (2.1 or 2.2) (<$5,000 new) or... if you want to consider "boutique" options - (you get a lot more for your money)... Linkwitz Orion’s, or LX521’s Wavetouch Audio GT’s or Anteros Monitors LaHave Melas, or other LaHave models DC10Audio Berlin R’s, or other DC10Audio Models I’ve got the Orion’s, GT’s, Antero’s, Mela’s, and Berlin R’s (among others)... and... would have the Legacy Aeris, if I could accept their size, weight and moving challenge... and... I may not be able to resist the Nola Brio Trio - all are incredible! The GT’s and Antero’s are the "giant killer’s" of the bunch... competing with virtually anything. Any of these will astound and amaze you compared to most others - though some weigh a ton and are difficult to ship, or are not the prettiest. And... I guess... in your budget range... I might also consider the Maggie 20.7’s - understanding that they have some idiosyncrasies (i.e. size, space, equipment requirements / matching, etc.) - set up right in the right space, they can be impressive! And... as others have suggested, I'd definitely consider some type of "room correction" (e.g. DEQX, DSpeaker, etc.) - the sound of virtually any set up can be improved by these (especially the bass). |
