Really sorry to hear about the tinnitus. It’s a common problem. I think SF speakers are easier on the ears (and eyes) and are more musical than most. An audition, however, is a must to make sure you like their presentation.
Good luck!
@mgrif104 Thats going to hard, I don’t drive much anymore and there is no dealer close to me…thanks though… |
sure no problem and thanks for the help…I have the Meinter MA3i dac, two amps the First Watt Sit-4 and the Pass Labs XA-25 which also can be sold, the speakers are the Volti Audio Lucera which he just raised the price to 15k with 750$ or $1000 shipping charge and also the Volti Razz going for 8500…couple years on the Razz and about a year with the Lucera..I just can’t listen to those speakers… was hoping to keep the XA-25 it’s a great amp, the Sit-4 probably at least 3500, the Razz around 6k the Lucera around 9k…..some where around there… |
Given the equipment you have, you should be able to get into an Amati Tradition or Serafino within your budget. They have essentially the same tonality - the latter better for somewhat smaller spaces. And, you might even be able to pick up a pair of good condition pre-owned Il Cremonese within your budget. What’s your room size? If you really can’t audition them beforehand, I’d suggest you consider purchasing a pre-owned pair which you’d be able to sell for roughly what you purchased them for if you didn’t like them. |
