I'll second the Ref 3A de Capo speakers. very detailed sound, great with low power, decent bass for a standmount speaker. I did add a sub which i use at low volume only after listening to some Devore O/96s :)
Bookshelf speaker rec
Hi everyone.
I am in the market for a pair of speakers, bookshelf, that have a good amount of low end. Will be using them with a Naim CD player > Conrad Johnson pre > B&K power amp.
Music is everything from Metallica and AC/DC to Beethoven and John Williams.
Room is 22x19 with a vaulted ceiling that goes from 9ft to 13 ft. I will have some carpet, and plan on putting up some acoustic panels, to, at the very least, cut down on the ambiance/reflections.
Wanted to get some suggs on what to listen to when I go to my local store(s). I would like to keep the pair under $5k if possible.
Thanks in advance.

Try Omega speakers from CT. I have 2. A bookshelf/semi-tower https://omegaloudspeakers.com/products/available-now-j8-demo-in-cherry and one tower https://omegaloudspeakers.com/collections/tower-speakers/products/junior-8xrs?variant=38555244684 I had both of them shipped to Dubai. Got one for a friend too (the Super 8). He loves them. I have their amp too- I think I was the launch/pilot customer last year. Louis the owner is a great guy. The ones above are amazing speakers and also much below your budget. For $5k you could get something way better from him. |
BTW - how do you quote? I was initially thinking cost. I was thinking that 5k would get me a really good pair of bookshelf speakers, but not a really good pair of floorstanding speakers. It appears as tho that thinking was flawed. |
No highs, no lows - must be Fyne Audio? I thought it was supposed to be a different brand ☺️ But on a serious note - I’m very curious about the brand, but there’s no store near by that carries them. So it remains a curiosity for now..
