Even though they are a bit heavier at 144 lbs. a pair of vintage JBL L-300's or the studio monitor version JBL 4333 you can find for $5-6,000 are just amazing. The 300's are the first home version speakers they made and are just beautiful. 15" woofers and smooth mid's and high's. They may need refoaming and I would upgrade to the Crossover Chef's crossovers , he takes 3 mo or so to deliver but worth waiting for , find his ad on eBay.
Have the itch yet again. $5-6k budget for floorstanders.
Well I've owned around 20 floorstanders over the last 30 years. Ridiculous I know but for me that's the hobby: trying new gear every 1-2 years. Anyhoots currently have Zu DW6 Superfly in my main rig, Wharfedale Evo 4.4 in the small TV room. Have both tube & SS amps I rotate. Yesterday I sold my SVS Ultra Tower (the prior version) ergo gots me thinking, so fun to go shopping, no? I listen to mostly jazz, on vinyl & via Qobuz. Some beats also (downtempo/chill). I used to rock out but nevermore. Prefer to stay under 100lbs; not getting any younger. I do have a SVS sub the SB 2000 pro btw.
Here's my short list:
- SVS Ultra Titan
- MOFI 888
- Dali Opticon 8
- Cornwall IV (rich buddy downsizing)
- Goldenear T66 (owned the orig Triton One way back 2013, dug them, had to downsize for a move)
- Dyn C2 (wildcard, never heard em, wish I could audition)
Anyhoots, who wants to chime in?
