I love my B&W 803 D3, but they absolutely require subs, which I have, hence the Vandy recommendation. Plus, Vandy's image and soundstage like your Maggies, which is to say, they sound beautiful.
$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.

I like the idea of best in show gear, assuming it is in the price range. I live 4 1/2 hours from the nearest stereo shop, and that could be like calling Best Buy a boutique stereo shop.. you get the idea. |
@rsf507 +1 The Ktema is in the conversation of best(versatile) loudspeaker < $50k |
No one here can give you the ideal speaker… or recommend the idea women. It’s always an individual preference. Given the level of equipment you own, you must deal with some decent shops. Have you heard everything they offer? For the money you want to spend, traveling to a city with several quality dealers would give you the opportunity to make a good choice. As to subs, they need not be large for music. You might want to consider a quality pair. B&W makes some good small subs. |
