Speaker recommendations like a Simco One / Klipsch+Ojas / Etc
Hi all, I’m looking for an alternative to my Shahinian Obelisks (omni-directional). Something that projects more forward than an omni design. I love huge / wide / deep soundstage, I already have two subs I’d like to still employ so I don’t need a speaker that has terrific bass. I play mostly rock, some jazz, some classical. Room is on the large side and warm in nature.
For sure I don’t want a traditional tower, just not a style I’m interested in (the ONLY exception would be a pair of Boenicke’s but good luck finding those used as I can’t swing or justify their cost new - have a pair you want to part with? I’m your guy!) Not into bookshelf/stand mounts.
I did consider open baffles, but my hunch is they’ll be too similar in presentation to the Obelisks.
So now I’m quite intrigued by the thought of a external horn design - seems like a great alternative to the OBs and a format that would work well to provide the forward large soundstage I seek for the type of music I mostly play (a box/Klipsch sorta speaker is not of interest to me whatsoever). The Simco One’s are ideal - I absolutely love their look and know they would look great in our room, but the cost is bonkers and there’s no info/reviews on sound. I would absolutely consider the Klipsch+Ojas collab but they’re sold out. I started another thread about Shinjitsu speakers which fit this criteria, but again there’s just no info/credible reviews out there.
So what does the Audiogon Community suggest? Feel free to offer up any suggestions, perhaps something I haven’t even considered or know about. Thanks in advance - Rich
