When looking for a stand mount speaker you might try Fritz Speakers. I own his Carbon 7SE MK2. Great speakers not requiring a great deal of power to drive and having plenty of bass. He also has a smaller version of this speaker that may prove better for your room and use of a sub woofer. I encourage you to give him a call.
speakers/ amps liking one another
Good morning all. Looking for some guidance. I appreciate all that have helped in the past.
I listened yesterday to a secondary 2 channel music only. Seemed very disappointing. My primary system has spoiled me. Primary system, following: ATI 6000 2 channel amp, Benchmark LA-4 Line amp, Meitner MA-1 DAC, Project RS2T transport and LTA Linear power supply, SVS SB 4000 Sub, Tekton upgraded Double Impacts. Also streaming Qobuz. In a very large area, listen to only R&R loudly. System is to Die for.
Second system is composed of Peachtree Amp 500, and Peachtree PreDac (preamp) audiolab 6000 transport, Benchmark Dac 3B, Focal Aria 948's. 2 channel system only, music. Much smaller room 13x13' Did the speaker placement job a while ago. Note: Focal says speaker can dip to 2.5 ohm's?
I believe my weak link is the Amp and preamp combo (Class D) Looking for used recommendations for SS amp class A/B or A that has some real CLASS power to it. I'll deal with a preamp to add to the amp a little later. Use the present preamp until I can afford a better one. 2 or 3K, give or take some. Any help would be great. Robert TN

@robshaw those 530s are pretty amazing, right? I listen to them both in and outdoors. |
To Mesch and to Shtinkydog: I will definitely look at the Fritz speakers, your models for sure. Thank you !!!! Also to shtinkydog, I have had them for a while and then they just sat. You are totally correct, they are truly amazing speakers for the money, what they can do . I will never sell them, they are like a collectors model. Congrats on owning them too. Happy Thanksgiving.

At the end of the day, outside of the room you listen to music in, system synergy is right up there when it comes to overall sound quality, and amp/speaker synergy definitely falls into that category. The ONLY way to know how a system is going to sound, and especially loudspeakers, is to listen in YOUR OWN ROOM. There is no substitute. It's like what Andrew Robinson likes to say, "the only person who has to like the way your system sounds is YOU". |
