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 😊
Plus 1 @ghdprentice I have had 14-15 pairs of speakers in the last fifty years and I found that my ears don’t like metal tweeters or midrange drivers of any sort. No beryllium, no aluminum tweeters for me, they all hurt my ears now I’m back to silk tweeters and my ears have never been happier. Two of the fifteen speakers I’ve had have been Sonus Farber and the ones I now have are my favorite and forever. All the best. |

I took a gamble a few years ago and bought a pair of tower speakers that I never heard before in person. I went on a few reviews & the reputation of Dennis Murphy. These speakers can handle all types of music and are quite pleasing to the eye. The natural sound is pleasing without harshness and enough bass for me. The speakers are Philharmonic BMR towers for about $4300 per pair. https://philharmonicaudio.com/products/bmr-tower
