What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase?
I'm looking for a high performance all around musical speaker. My previous speakers are:
Bose 501 - I was young and they served a purpose
Infinity SM150 - terrible from the start
Boston Acoustics T1000 - actually a nice all around speaker
Polk SDA-SRS1tl - loved the full sound, not accurate at all
Thiel 2.3 - Very dry sounding
B&W N802 - perhaps my favorite, but needed to be played loud
Thiel 3.7 - I think Jim's cancer affected his hearing
B&W 802D - 1st gen, still have.....please stop my ears from bleeding
What do you suggest?
@onehorsepony - there are a lot of great choices with your 20k budget. It’s best to demo yourself at audio stores and shows to find the speakers that resonate subjectively with you. Devore Orangutan O/96 and Fleetwood Deville are highly musical usually paired with tube amplification. |
you should by X. I did and I am happy |
Audition them and you decide. Love when people post YouTube videos of audio equipment. John Darko hit the nail on the head. https://darko.audio/2025/06/12-examples-of-wishful-thinking-in-the-hi-fi-community/ |
