Fischer & Fischer SN170's. A tad more than $5k at $7700 but worth looking in to and saving up for. The slate makes it the best choice. .
The SN 70's are really good too. $5500.
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 😊

@mbruflodt25 “Me to delete the subs my wife would be happy” 😀 Some people like being a “sub” but that’s for a different forum. 🫡 Most people like a sub (woofer) Tell the wife, well set up subs are heard but not seen. They disappear in the room. Problem solved. It depends on how important it is for you |
I saw the title of your post and automatically thought 'I wonder it they're Cantons'? LOL I was right because I have a pair of 40 year Canton Karat 200s that still play quite well. The spring clip connector on one of them has started to get a little loose but it still plays. Good bass too. I have them in my vintage system along with a Denon PMA 757 amp and B&O turntable. Mid-80s lushness. |
I have not heard them yet myself but from what I’ve read, the relatively new Mofi floor standing Sourcepoint 888’s at $5500 seem like they’re worth a serious audition. I’ve heard their other models are they’re quite good in most ways with no glaring weaknesses. Andrew Jones clearly is an excellent speaker designer. |
