I’m surprised the ridiculous Pure Audio Project "assemble it yourself" speakers are mentioned. Sure, they’re ridiculous, but I fell for the hype and bought a pair last fall (Duet 15 Horn 1) to replace my cool (for me) Heresy 3s...on stands...the 3s are a fabulous speaker with 2 subs including a new "99." Large room 18’ ceilings, blah blah. The PAPs (unfortunate abbreviation implying a gynecological event) are GREAT speakers. That horn projects for miles and with my 2 subs providing some extra mojo these things are clean and clear and, frankly, have made me a better person and even thickened my hair. Who knew? I added the recommended silver/gold/oil gigantic Mundorf caps mostly because they look so cool, and sprung for the possibly unnecessary Isoacoustics Gaia 2 feet...again they make it look like I care. Buy these speakers...do it now...we’ll wait right here. Note to the admin...put recent responses AT THE END OF THE POSTS like you used to! Come on!
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.
