Do a search for Shahinian Acoustic Larc speakers. For some reason they are not on the website, which hasn't been updated since day 1. The late Richard Shahinian designed his speakers around large scale orchestral music. I had the Diapasons but sold them because they were too large for my current listening room. Somedays I dream about moving back to my previous home and having them again. They are very musical.
15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume
Dear Audiophiles,
I am looking for some speakers for my home office. Speakers would be place 6ft from me on either side of my desk. Speakers will be 8 ft apart.
I love classical music and pop. I am looking for speakers for extended listening at not very high volume. They should be warm and non fatiguing.
I am currently considering following speakers:
1. Monitor Audio Gold 300
2. ATC SCM40
3. Kef R7 Meta
Do you have any other suggestions. Thanks and appreciate your help!

I just sold my Monitor Audio Gold 300s 5G. Spectacular speaker and great bottom end. I drove them with Hegel H590. They filled up a very large room, 15x25 Living, Dining area. So Im confused how you want these very large speakers at the end of your desk??? But they are an amazing performance and the tweeter is proprietary and sweet sounding. Stop you in the tracks. I sold them to a man who wanted rock at very high volume. I played a vinyl copy of Pink Floyd Dark side of the moon with some thunderous bass segments. He bought them on the spot. Good luck and I hope you enjoy them if they are your choice. PS they recently raised the price from 7.5K to 9.5K! Yikes. |
@dherring - Thanks for your feedback. I realized that they are too much for my need. I settled on following for my desk: Harbeth p3esr xd Hegel H190v - launching in May |
@ilikeclassical I mentioned that I had the Magnepan LRS+ in my small office. It sounds amazing in there. However, if I had your room I would look into this speaker (I mentioned before) or maybe the one below it. I would use an amp like my CODA #16 (slightly warm with tons of power). I just saw this review tonight. Diptyque DP 140 MkII | HFA - The Independent Source for Audio Equipment Reviews (hifi-advice.com) BTW - this review mentions the great and cheap headphone I use in my office in comparison to the reviewed speaker. Something that I had also done with my headphones and the LRS+. Sometime this week I will (or supposed) to get the next version of this headphone. I will post a photo of the demo pair(s). |
