Guys I've been considering a speaker swap. Have found that I love 2-ways.
I didn't really know this until I started listening to different speakers and kept liking them more, much more than the fulls.
They present a different perspective that I prefer. I don't listen real loud and have a med size 2500 cubic foot room and I much prefer tight and accurate, faster more defined bass and don't need the real deep low stuff. I love how they image and disappear and make the music more alive to me. Listen to Jazz, Acoustic, Blues, mello rock, Indie, some classic, the usual phile stuff..
I have it boiled down to a few and really would love your opinions. Buying used and they are all over the country and just can't listen to all of them. I know listen first is best and would love to if I could. They are all within $500 of each other price wise with shipping to me.
Have you guys heard any of these and what you might think of these??
Magico S1 Black
YG Carmal 1 Silver
Focal Diablo Utopia III - Silver
Sonus Faber Guameri Momento
Langerton Configuration 217
Tannoy DC10A
Ascendo System F (Only non 2-way I'm considering)
Any info or feedback or recommendations would really be appreciated!!!
Ebm, I've listen to many speakers and have always been underwhelmed with Magico. Everyone has a preference and no one is right. No absolutes in Audio, only preferences!
I understand, if I could afford Raidho, I would already have them. I heard the C3.1 and just love them. I've listened to many speakers, but they just sound so musical to my ears.
The more I read different threads, the more I realize with SPEAKERS, more than any other component, must be heard by the individual. I've listened to Rockport and although I can hear why some my like them, I don't agree with their assessment of how they sound. Maybe I just heard them in a bad room or with bad equipment.
I've never listened to Joseph Audio Perspectives, but the dealer that sold me Aerial 7Ts swears by them. He claims the Perspectives are much better than the 7Ts across the entire audio spectrum. I came very close to selling my speakers, but decided to go in a different direction and upgrade my cables, amp, source, and my last move was adding dual subs. If possible I would listen to every speaker and let my own ears decide.
