You want something punchy and not real sensitive to near wall placement. But I will say there is, in general, a huge difference in speaker performance between the $5K and over $10k cost. Willing to go used is excellent. Look for something in the $10K - 20K new range. I loved my Sonus Faber Olympica 3… beautiful, musical with excellent detail. There are lots of other great speakers. Like Focal, B&W, Etc.
Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x
Hey everyone - looking for some suggestions on speakers. Just upgraded my amp and DAC to a Luxman 509x and Lumin T2. They’re driving Martin Logan motion 40s so upgrading speakers as well. Room is 14x18’ with the speakers facing the long way. It’s a living room, so am constrained by space and the wife. They will be less than 2’ from the wall and snuggled up next to a wood TV stand in the middle. Towers will be much easier to pull off than something very wide. Wood floors but covered by a large rug, L couch, lots of windows, 8’ drywall ceiling and a large bookshelf in the back to give you an idea of acoustics. Listening position about 8-10ft from speakers. Budget is $5k-$10k. Willing to go used. I mostly listen to rock, folk, country, hip hop and jazz. Fairly new to the language of hifi, but prefer natural over clinical and a touch of warmth would be nice with the supposedly neutral components in the system. Thanks!
