Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3
Hello Agon members,
I am getting ready to purchase a new pair of speakers and looking for some advice and first hand experience with a few of my possible choices:
I own a Hifi Rose RS520 integrated amp/streamer. My speaker cables are Tellurium Q Black II and the power cord is generic. I am currently using a pair of Vanguard Scout speakers to great effect (especially considering the modest price) until I settle on my next speaker. In the past, I have used Omega Speaker Systems SAM (still own) and did not find this to be a good synergy with the Hifi Rose. I have also auditioned a pair of used Harbeth C7ES and, even though I wanted to love these speakers, there was again poor synergy. So finding a speaker that will play well with the sound signature of the Hifi Rose is important to me.
My room is 16.4 ft. x 19 ft. and my system is against the shorter wall. Speakers will have plenty of room on the sides, but I doubt I will be able to position them more than 2 ft. off the back wall.
My preference is for a warmer sound with a good tone, but I also articulation, dynamics, imaging and soundstage. I generally stay away from bright and forward sounding equipment. Music is mostly centered around rock and indie, with some country, bluegrass, folk, hip hop, reggae, etc. thrown into the mix.
I will listen to all 3 speakers again before I purchase, but demos are much different than actually living with a speaker. Therefore, if you have spent some time with any of these speakers, please share your thoughts.
Thanks in advance - Billy

@ghdprentice nooooooooooooooooooooooooo :) |
@grislybutter haven't heard most of the ones you put out there- but have owned the Gato FM15 (and their PM6). Sold both of them last week to make place for 2 other speakers. I have listened to, and bought and sold a few speakers- the FM15 are the only ones I miss. |
