My advise to you would be for you to get out and actually audition as many speakers that you possibly can, as it’s the only way for you to know for certain which speakers are the right ones for you. I’ve never owned speakers that I hadn’t auditioned first before purchasing. At the end of the day, it’s the only way. Happy listening.
$35000 to $40,000. speakers what would you buy and why?
I am contemplating purchasing my End game speakers. The ones that catch my eye are the Magico M3, Magico M project, Stenheim Alumine 5se, Rockport Cygnus and the Songs Faber Amati Homage G5. My system consists of An Aurender N20 feeding a MSB Technology Premier Dac with Premier powerbaye. Preamp duties are handles by An Audio Research Reference Anniversary and amplification is a pair of Lamm M 2.2 mono blocks. I currently have Magnepan 3.7i's. I love their transparency and inner detail but they do not play in the low registers. I do not want separate subs.... My room is mediums sized. I listen to mostly soft pop, classical and some light rock. I am trying to walk the thin line of tranparency vs musicality. I would enjoy some suggestions and some sound reasoning behind members choices in speakers. I do not want this to morph into a bashing thread. Please stay on topic.

Of that list I would favor Rockport. I have heard the others except for Stenheim, and Rockport stands out. My exposure is via a couple visits to AXPONA, shows are a great way to get a feel for the sound of a brand, followed by auditions of your favorites. Go to a show, you will come away with some favorites and a couple wildcards. |
I wish you would take some photos of your listening room and create a Virtual System here, I think members could refine their recommended options. Joseph Audio immediately came out of the recesses of my mind. He still uses his modified versions of Richard Modaferri's patents. here's a review of his work for McIntosh Tuners https://www.stereophile.com/content/analog-matters-modafferi-mod And a list of his Patents https://patents.justia.com/inventor/richard-modafferi I owned JSE Model 2's which were made by John Sollecito Engineering using two of Modafferi's patents. https://holthill.com/products/jse-infinate-slope-model-two-extraordinary-speaker-system Jeff Joseph was a salesman for Harveys when they were introduced, later he and Richard collaborated and Jeff started his own brand. Jeff's designs and quality are far better than anything JSE made. |
These are over your budget, or too big for your space, but I heard them at the NY Audio Show (in NJ) this past November, just want others to know about them I posted this soon after:
Robert Lighton Audio, RL12 Speaker System, with External Crossovers they look like this, youtube cannot sound good of course: https://www.stereophile.com/content/robert-lighton-audio https://www.youtube.com/shorts/znTf5DKdxXI I’m 77, I’ve been to more than a few shows since getting hooked in 1973, heard some remarkable speakers, these are the most impressive speakers I have ever heard. We visited a second time on the way out, I yapped quite enthusiastically for some Podcast. |
