Give serious consideration to Daniel Hertz Anton. They fit your budget. True 20 to 20 range. 15 inch concentric driver. No sub necessary. Works well with most quality amps but Daniel Hertz has its own integrated to full match the tuning. Designed for musicality of the sensation this is totally real, right here. Think Tannoy with total rework and update for speed and transparency. They were at Dallas show last year. Maybe this year too. Likely at Vienna.
$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.

Magnepan 3.7s are not in the same class as his electronics? Why would you say that?? As I’m sure the OP can tell you, the 3.7s are excellent speakers, fully up to the Audio Research and Lamm electronics. As the OP said, he’s not getting enough bass, and he doesn’t want subwoofers, so... I might opt for Stenheims. From what I’ve heard, they have very few compromises in their sound. |
@chuck, how close to Montreal are you? These just came available yesterday: https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/650329882-dali-epikore-9-loudspeakers/ Amazingly good price for great speakers, assuming the seller means he bought them new in Jan 2026 (not 2027 as stated). To be fair, I’ve only heard the Epikore 7s, and they are spectacular. The 9s are supposed to do the bass deeper and crisper. Lots of tech from the $150k Kore speakers. Be fun to audition these and the Rockport Avior IIs (Sunny’s has a demo pair on sale for $35k. https://sunnyaudiovideo.com/products/rockport-avior-ll ) I have Epicon 6s and occasionally muse about upgrading to the Epikore line, but my untreated/untreatable room doesn’t really justify it. |
