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 😊
I don't believe getting rid of the subs is a good choice regardless of the budget or speakers selected. I also don't believe that there are any truly full range (down to 20Hz or lower) in your budget. That said, the Mofi 888 tick a lot of your boxes. Slight warmish. In the budget. Get down to 32Hz anechoic so in-room should a few Hz lower. |

@parkergetdean
I only mention them because like KEF they strive to emulate point sources, which in my opinion is one of the most important differentiators between speaker designs. I wish your list could be pinned somewhere handy! |
@richardbrand yes, that takes me to my confusion about Tannoy and Fyne. Is Fyne a Tannoy knock off? A cheap Tannoy? Or Tannoy is an expensive Fyne. Way too much overlap for me not to be confused. |
