Entry-level speakers


Hi, I'm just starting out on a decent system. My source is a music hall mmf-5, and I'm considering the PSB Image 4Ts. In about 15 months I'll be moving away to college, and needless to say, I probably won't have a huge listening room. Until then, I'll be listening in my current bedroom which must be about 350 ft^2. Does anyone have an opinion on the 4Ts ability to fill a large room and sound decent in a cramped room? Would the 5/6/7 Ts be overkill? I like the 1Bs, but there's so little bass, and they sound small. I've also heard some B&Ws, Vandersteens, and Martin Logans...each of which sounded good, but probably wouldn't be practical for me. Are there any other speakers I should listen to? Other than space requirements, my only other major limitation is money. I have saved up about 10 thousand and I'd like to use roughly 15 hundred to two thousand on my system (speakers, amp, cables, etc). Thanks in advance for any help.

A pair of tannoy saturn s8lr would fill the bill nicely and fit the budget. While tannoy sound takes some getting use to, I enjoy there imaging, sense of dynamics, and non fatiguing sound. Couple them with a good tube integrated (stingray, jolida, golden sound, used arc ca50 and you will have glorious sound for the money
Clueless.... I saw the pictures posted re your Jordan speakers. I have a soldering iron but a woodshop is another thing altogether.

Carolina has done quite a bit of work with the damping and tapering. They also add a lot of pieces to angle off the corners in the line for a smoother flow. The finish is then quite exceptional.

As a basic speaker from the plans if you have the where-with-all to do it is quite a deal and a good sounding speaker.

Carolina's little T-line monitor with the Jordan is quite something as well.

That Ella kit looks good... I'd love to have an EL34 amp around.... nice to hear that it is a good combination with the Jordan driver.

If you get a chance check out that little kit I mentioned. very cool and cheap.
I would recommend you audition the Energy Connisour C-1. Absolutely fantastic loudspeaker for small/mediun sized room. An audio bargain for I believe $300 retail. I've owned the Spendor S3/5(Superb loudspeaker), Harbeth's, JM Labs, Kef's, PSB's and I personally find the C-1 superior to them all.
