I think the Diamond 11.1 or 11.2 would be a great choice. But the older Diamond 225 just sort of hit a sweet spot in their lineup. I'd still recommend the 225 or the Denton 80 (not the 85). But overall, the affordable Wharfedales share a fairly warm, easygoing sound. The only models that were generally considered to be bright or forward were the Jade series.
$1000 bookshelf speakers with "recessed", "laid back" or "flat" mid-range?
Dear all,
As stated above, I am looking for a bookshelf speaker with a mid-range that is laid back, recessed or flat. I currently own a pair of Elac Uni-Fi UB5, and I find their presentation quite forward in the mid-range, which I don't appreciate, especially at moderate to high volumes. I also own a pair or Pioneer SP-BS22, which I find more pleasing sounding (particularly the more recessed mid-range) than the Elac.
Since I can't audition speakers where I live, I am asking for your recommendations on bookshelf speakers that have a more "recessed" or "flatter" presentation in the mid-range. I have a budget of $1000. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
