Integrated amp for Philharmonic BMR monitors

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. 

@soix 

sounds good!

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 !

@soix 

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…

Any thoughts?
 

@mcpherson by new tower speakers, are you talking about the BMR HT speakers? AMT drivers, dual woofers? They have been out for a while and by all accnts, they seem to be great.

I have lots of experience with the regular BMR Towers. Owned them for 2 years. First thing first, they are exceptional for classical music. If this is your primary genre of music. You are in for a treat. There's a guy that compared the Phil BMR vs Revel 328Be and his experience reflects mine. 

Part 1.

I'll continue with the negatives in part 2.
