Well, I heard the Sophia 3's again and WOW. Socks blown off. Musical, tight deep, tuneful bass and the mids were awesome. Speaker totally disappeared. I was very impressed. I like what Wilson has been doing lately too. Funny as I never liked them at all until recently.
Floor Stander with Small Footprint 7K - 15K
SAF issue requires an elegant floor stander with a small footprint (narrow and deep is good). 2-way or 3-way okay. Room is 15d x 30w x 10h. SimAudio Moon 600i has enough power to drive pretty much anything well. Don't suggest a KEF Blade. That won't fly.
My music tastes run all over the place but I do favor impeccable vocals, cellos and trombones, and bass that is clearly musical though not necessarily earth-moving. That being said Led Zeppelin and orchestral music have to have impact.
Your thoughts, AudioGon-ers? Thank you in advance

Shelby+Kroll Reference I have the Nano Series and absolutely love what they do with acoustic and voice. They throw an sound stage that is spooky real. They have impeccable tonal balance with clarity in spades. My room is 11' x 15' x 8' and they work very well there. The Reference takes everything I like about the Nano up a few notches. There is a great review of the Reference Stereo Mojo from last Spring. http://www.shelbykroll.com/ http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649183528-demo-shelby-kroll-reference-system/ |
Chapman T-7. The latest version. Extremely musical and balanced. Easy to drive. No affiliation except I have owned an older pair for many years. Stuart is passionate about his craft and is great to deal with. He's been quietly building world-class speakers for about 40 years. Even with the gorgeous wood trim option, price is well within your budget. There are some excellent reviews online if you care to investigate. |
