If you want more resolution without the blaring, just get a nice 300B amplifier, we always tend to blame speakers for our problems..
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.

There are some Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene speakers on USAM for $7400 CAD (about $5400 USD). I can’t believe they are still there. You would want them closer to your listening position. This leaves you some budget to put towards an upgrade from the Rotel. A couple of people have mentioned KEF Reference 1. Those are good, I owned a pair. The Pulsars are better. I've heard them and the Reference 1 in my friend's system and the Pulsars are more detailed and image better. |
I agree with @ravimaui. I have the same size room but 17 ft ceilings. I had Maggie 1.7s for years. I tried replacing them but was extremely disappointed with any box speaker i tried. Im currently using TAD E1's which are out of your price range. Those do a pretty good job. There is a pait of used YG Carmel2's that are in your budget if you are looking for something more compact than maggies. |
