All of your problems are solved...I know just the speakers that you need and they are in my spare bedroom packed away. I'm taking about a pair of Paradigm Prestige 85fs, gorgeous piano black finish, very gently used and not a single flaw or imperfection anywhere. They are begging to go to a new home...
$3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ?
My speakers are 25 years old, working fine for now, but who knows I might have to replace them at some point in the future.
The amp would be VAC Avatar SE 60 watt/ch all tube with onboard phono stage. Nottingham Analogue Spacedeck/Spacearm turntable and couple of tape decks.
I am thinking Proac maybe or whatever.

@mulveling - I am genuinely curious about your post concerning phase errors in multi-driver speakers. I was reading Floyd Toole's book on Sound reproduction and he makes a point in that book that phase errors in normal full range systems are not usually bad enough that it has a noticeable impact on the sound quality. Since you say you can hear phase errors, can you describe what to listen for? I may have noticed it in my listening but didn't realize what it was or what to call it. Please explain so I can benefit from your observations as I audition new speakers for my home that's being rebuilt post-fire. |
Iʻd put together a SEAS Thor kit from Madisound ($2615.00). They have a number of cabinet makers who can build them and ship them to your door for a reasonable amount. Theyʻre not all that hard to build yourself. You could get help from a friend, or just have a local cabinet maker do them up. |
