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.
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.

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

It’d be most helpful and more productive here if you’d share what specific improvements you’re looking for, what sound characteristics are most important to you, and if you’re looking for new or used. Just knowing what music you listen to isn’t nearly enough, and you’ll get much better and more targeted recommendations the more info you provide here. |
