OP, I’ve heard the Stenheim Alumine 5se and liked it, but it’s $70k new. I’m also looking at the same speaker decision with a similar range, my leanings are toward used Wilson or a larger Magico like S5 or S7. You could also look at GR Research’s mods for your maggies, they supposedly provide better bass but I think he had to go up to 20s to get real impact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOCYvO6pnWg
$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.
