New speakers for $5000
I’m looking for new speakers for about $5,000. My integrated amp is a Luxman 505z and I have a Rel s/812. The source is an Innuous Pulse with the LPSU and a Chord dac. The room is about 12 by 16. I like acoustic, blues and jazz. I was thinking about the Harbeth Compact 7Es 3 xd 2 or the Totem Forest. I’d grateful for any input. Thanks.
For the kind of music you like, I could definitely recommend Harbeths; I had Super HL5's for about 5 years before I decided to try something else, and in retrospect, I saw that the Harbeths were not that appropriate in my system for the kind of music I like, which is rock and reggae; I needed speakers with a bit more excitement. |
Check out Wavetouch audio Antero v2 speakers. Stand mount 2 way, 44~27khz. 92db sensitive. $3,500/demo pair. The room in below video is 14’w x 22’L x 8’h. Amp is 35watts solid state. Minimal room acoustic treatment. Mics are 6.5ft away from speakers. All Wavetouch cables (spkr, power cord, ICs). Chris De Burgh - Lady In Red, Wavetouch audio live recording Patricia Barber - Black Magic Woman (Live), Wavetouch audio Alex/Wavetouch audio |
OP you have great gear. others have posted their suggestions all I can add is, take your time and listen to each speaker that you think you will like JUST MY own 02cents. my speakers are all within your budget and I find complete satisfaction. I run Falcon Gold Badge and ATC scm 11ver2. Note: accept that you may have some compromises to live with
