Looking for proven pairing with BMR monitors. Would like to hear from past/present owners. I have consider Rega Elex. Musical fidelity m5si,m3si, and stretching a bit to rogue Cronus magnum 3. Any advice is greatly appreciated
Yeah you pretty much gave up on the BMRs when you got the CM3 and probably Maggies too. There’s a good reason most here recommend choosing speakers first before the amp, and maybe you’ll now find out why. Good luck.
I tend to agree with you Soix…and having to do over I’d admit to being impatient…
yet I do appreciate your insight on this thread as well as others I’ve run across. I have found some local opportunities to demo other speakers/brands as well. Tannoy, Proac, Wharfedale,Revel…so I’m excited to put the work in !
I will admit it’s a bit surprising that no actual BMR owners chimed in with their experience though ! Maybe they are too busy just listening!lol
I highly recommend going to hear ProAc speakers if you possibly can. They are very natural sounding and throw off an expansive 3D soundstage while disappearing as a sound source in your room, and they offer a fairly benign load so should pair very well with your amp both technically as well as sonically — could be a lotta synergy there if those are sound characteristics you’re looking for. Just my $0.02 FWIW.
I will be able to listen to tannoy cheviot, Proac D2…as well as Wharfedale 85th Linton. probably even have a chance to place them in my room…they are only like 10 miles away so super excited !
update. I have Wharfedale Lintons set up currently. The Proacs were sold the day before I was able to go listen to them!! Aaahhh.
BUT Philharmonic just released a new tower speaker that measures @ 90db with dual 6.5” drivers that would seem to be a better fit for amp…
