Looking for Speaker Recommendations


Hi,

I am getting a new system and am looking for speaker recommendations. I will have a ma8950 and will, at least initially, be streaming exclusively. Focal and B & W are too bright and fatiguing. Wilson SabrinaX are good except for the price. Any thoughts? Thanks.

If you like Wilson, you can pick up certified pre-owned at very good prices. Wilson owners like to upgrade when new models come out and the used ones are usually well priced. There are plenty for sale right now, especially Sophias.  

Another Maggie's fan, I'm running 3.7i in a 12 x 15 room sound magnificent. The 1.7i would also work. Sound improves with a sub.

 

Just curious why the ma8950?  Given what you’re looking for, I don’t think you could go wrong with the Joseph Audio Pulsar or Profile, Usher Dancer Mini Two DMD (diamond tweeter), ProAc D30 (w/ribbon tweeter), or Spendor 7.2.  Also, the QLN Prestige 3 flies under the radar but by all accounts is a very special speaker — here’s a review…

Just some options to explore, and best of luck.
