Lots of great recommendations here! Let us know which direction you go.
Needing to replace thirty year old speakers.
I have a thirty year old pair of Canton ergo 80 speakers. I
never felt they were that good. My current system includes
a Chronus magnum dark integrated amplifier, a Cambridge
audio can v2 streamer and two Svs 2000 pro subs. The
Chronic dark replaced an Adcom 555-2 amplifier and an
Adcom 565 preamplifier. I always thought the Adcom
equipment sounded harsh in the upper midrange. The
Chronic solved that problem. It is better than the Adcom
equipment in every way. I like speakers that are slightly
warm sounding but still give detail. My budget is around
$5,000, maybe a little more. What speakers would sound
good with my setup? If a recommended speaker allowed
Me to delete the subs, my wife would be happy 😊

@bigtwin like most marriages I know. |
When reading about your Integrated Amp' and all the good reports being made available, I think your wanting Speaker recommendations is not entirely aligned to your needs. Synergy is everything, learning which Speakers have been able to show off the Amp' as a most impressive performer is a much sure footed inquiry to get to the place one is wanting to experience. Additionally, the Amp' does offer a 8 Ohm and 4 Ohm interface with a Speaker, and even though not too imposing as a option, can be the deciding point on how the Amp' is finally set up to be used with a Speaker. Note: The Canton can work as a 4 Ohm interface? Don't overlook the Amp's Input Valves either, there is a lot that can be done with such Valve types to help scape the End Sound. It does look like Tube Rolling is a area of ownership that will be beneficial if commenced to be learnt what might be achievable for the End Sound that can be created. It is too good to dismiss. The Speaker producer is very likely to have knowledge of Speakers at certain price points that have excelled with their designs, this is a good place to inquire. |
1) Don't dismiss used out of hand, you can get a great deal on used and people who buy expensive speakers generally take care of them. I got killer deal on used speakers (think 80% off list) especially at dealers who don't sell a brand but take them on trade-in for good customer 2) Every speaker is enhanced with a sub, even a small sub. But it sounds like this is a wife-acceptance thing. If you primarily listen to classical music or even jazz from the 50's & 60's, they're probably less important. |
