Speakers for room size that provide greater detail.
I’m looking at replacing my Wharfedale Super Lintons. The room size is 24’ length, and 14’ wide. Ceilings are 12’. My current listening distance is 15’ from my speakers. I have 2 Rel Classic 99 subs, running through a Rotel RA1592. Used for only playing music.
Want a speaker that is resolving at lower and loud volumes. Speakers that are more resolving than the Super Lintons at louder the volumes specifically. I am currently looking at the Kef R11 Meta, Kef Reference 1 Meta and Wharfedale Elysian 2. I would prefer a stand mount speaker. But open to a floor standing. Besides the speakers I’ve mentioned looking for other recommendations that I can read up on and demo in person. Thanks in advance.

@nucleardog61 echoing @soix a bit, the Joseph Audio Pulsars new are right in your budget - https://nowlistenhere.net/speakers/joseph-audio-pulsar2-graphene Aaron is a pleasure to deal with. I’ve not heard the Pulsars, but read up on them; they seem to be universally loved. I bought a pair of Perspective 2 Graphene from Aaron in December, and they are really impressive speakers for a room that is very similar in size to yours, but with lower ceilings (if you are willing to stretch your budget). Even though i suspect they are not fully broken in - i only had them delivered a few weeks ago, the clarity, detail, musicality and sound stage are staggering, near field or 15’ away. off axis performance is also very good. And they are really pretty small as floorstanders go. And to echo @erik_squires , it may be a long shot, but the DALI Epicon 6s would also be splendid in your room, if you can find a gently used pair in your budget. (I did about a year ago, but it was definitely lucky.) Also, I’d take @ghdprentice ‘s comments about your amp seriously. My Epicon 6s sounded very nice (albeit polite) with my prior amp (NAD M33), but only really blossomed with finer, more resolving and more dynamic electronics. |
The Newer Sonus Faber G2-5 or bigger 8 Are class leading and sound easy more detailed and refined At their price class , many excellent reviews Anthony at Perrotta consultants gave me a sweet deal On the g2-8. I owned focal sopra2, Qualio, And these are better, these are the 1st with loads of trickle down Technologies from their flagship, these will hold me over well Until I can get my Rockports. |
