Need speaker advice
Hej
I'm looking for a
new pair of speakers. The reason for this is that I find my Tannoy
Legacy Eaton a little too difficult to drive for my 2x12w Audion
Audio Sterling. I also feel that the Tannoys are a little too relaxed
and a little rolled off.
One problem with
brands like Tekton and nsmt is that I live in Sweden and I do not
have the opportunity to listen to them (which I assume is the same
problem in the US) and to send them back if I don't like them is not
financially defensible. To take a chance on one of these brands I really have to be sure that they are what I’m looking for. I don’t
think this will happend.
I heard Klipsch
Heresey III which I didn't like. To my taste, they were too much on
my face and too harsh. Could have been the room and/or the amplifier
and/or ...?
I listen to all
kinds of music, from progressive rock to classical music.
My listening
position is 6.6 feet from the speakers.
My budget is aprox $
7,200.
Any suggestions?

@ simna Apologies for mentioning this product outside your price limit, but if you can stretch to $8,900, the highly efficient 100dB/W/m "Volti Audio Rival" may be a good fit for you: From Stereophile Ken Micallef review: the Rivals had no "sound" of their own...immaculate transparency... bass was "riveting, powerful, and forceful, and as full of tone, texture, and energy, as I've ever heard," and that the high frequencies were "smooth, wide open, and grain-free." other reviews also very favorable. |
