Thank you gentleman for all your input. You have made some strong arguments for the speakers you have suggested. For Posterity Audio Troy. My Lamm's are not 18 watts. They are the M2.2's which are 220 watts per channel into 8 ohms. They have a 6922 in the input and MOSFET outputs. My problem is I am trying to parse down what I would like. I live in a small town hours away from any real high end dealers. The closest show is the one that comes to Florida. So I would need to take time off from work and spend the night at a show. I am leaning towards purchasing used speakers to get more value. Thus auditioning at a dealer would be fruitless as I would not want to waste their time. I love the looks of the magico speakers and like what the reviewers say. The downside is many say that sound clinical and lifeless. I like the Rockports but it seems that they have had quality control issues of late so I am a bit afraid of them. I like the form factor of the stegnheim's as well as the Joseph Audio Pearls. Although I have never been enamored with SEAS drivers. I think I will take everyone's advice and spend time at a show and see which speaker I prefer. Thank you all!!
$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.
