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 😊

@gournard Like yours!

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.

They can’t even afford to live in their own damn state so they emigrate, but instead of respecting folks who’ve lived here their whole lives and whose home this is, they start finger-wagging

Welcome to the new NYC.

The entire problem in a nutshell. 25 years after 9/11, just know that it wasn’t the natives that decided last week’s election.

That said, I really didn't want to like the Forte IV's...

I’ve seen a couple people recommend Volti and I know they are very popular. Looking at the horrid frequency response I am wondering how? I’m not a measurement guy but damn a 20-30 db swing out of flat is pretty out there. I would still like to hear a pair since everyone says they are better than Cornwall 4 which I liked for the most part.
