Impressive speakers.
3 footing design-no kiddies/doggos in that room!
Pair of No.32's👍
Why not a pair in the rear too?
My new speakers
After owning Monitor Audio PL500 II speakers for 10 years, I’ve purchased my last speakers, YG Acoustics Sonja 3.3s. They are definitely different than my Monitor Audio PL500 II speakers. In my opinion, Monitor Audio PL500 II speakers offer a great value and do many things well. BUT, the Sonja 3.3s are clearer, tonality is improved, more dynamic and instruments/singers are more palpable. I’m not suggesting a night and day difference, but easily discernible differences. Unfortunately, Incremental improvements are very expensive in this hobby. I would say that I’m done, but I’m sure I’m going to change my Chord Dave DAC.
After demoing many speakers at audio shows and stores, Magico and YG consistently resonated with me as my favorite. Unfortunately a used YG Sonja was unaffordable and a used Magico s5 or better was a budget stretch. Lower model YGs just seemed like a significant drop from Sonja. On my journey, I did give Monitor Audio PL300 several serious store demos before continuing my search. Congratulations! |
@ricred1 - do you already have ideas for a DAC upgrade yet? If not, I can offer suggestions. My analog rig was finished to a high level, so it was a struggle getting a DAC that was high enough sonically within budget. |
