if i were you i will try buy field coil speaker ,, just search it at diyaudio ,, it seem make nice sound from it ,,, i believe at last it can beat any speaker made before 1970
$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.
Long story short, I sold my beloved 2-channel to reduce family debt. In about a year-ish, I’ll be in a position to rebuild with a hefty budget. I loved my Harbeth + Pass Labs combo. My REL sub died before I really got to integrate it, so opinions wanted there as well. I fully understand the diminishing margin of returns when moving into some arenas, but that’s ok, opinions are strongly encouraged.
I listen to a lot of Miles Davis/Coltrane, Radiohead, Tool, Pearl Jam, Brent Cobb. I’ve often preferred “organic” or neutral, not sure how technical that is.

@toddcowles Good move on the 20amp line, I was shocked how big of a difference adding that to my system made. Good power is never a bad foundation to build around and costs way less than most any components. |
Take your time. Pick speakers first. Get what you like. Look at Sonus Faber, B&W Magico, Rockport, Vinberg (some great reviews) I recently started the upgrade path and went with Sonus Faber found a fantastic Demo pair. I have an Anthem P5 and it still sounds great much better than people give it credit.
Then decide on your source or sources. I'd recommend to look at a really good Integrated especially if theater bypass is something you might want to do in the future. Im looking at Boulder amp 866 and Gryphon Diablo 300 Both have very good DAC streamers. Simaudio Moon also makes great gear.
Have fun.

@toddcowles Consider running 3 dedicated 20 amp lines. 2 for mono's/subs on each side and 1 for your sources and other rack gear. With this large of a room, you may even consider doing a couple more around the room if a 2 channel/theatre combo is of any potential interest in the future. Seems overkill now, but just wait..I don't think there is a better ROI on any investment in this hobby than clean, dedicated power. |
