After 8 years with planars, still have Maggies, I am enjoying single driver speakers paired with SET tube amps. The Omega Super 3 does vocals and acuoustic with less coloration than I heard in many top box speakers. I'm currently trying Omegas Aperiodic 8. I've only had them 5 days but indications are they may be one of the best speakers I've ever heard for this type of music. Good luck.
Alternative after Soundlab. Horns? Heil Tweeters?
Dear all, I had to part from my beloved electrostatic Soundlab due to space limitation. (I didn’t want to hear them nearfield)
Now, provided my type of music is acoustic and vocals – I am looking for a budget price speaker that with all its limitation compared to Soundlab, can still reproduce vocals lifelike, transparent (no drilling ears tweeters please) and emotionally involving.
Due to a cat presence I have excluded Magneplanar but I have considered speakers based on the Heil tweeter like the Oskar Kithara.
Which other speakers shall I include in the list to audition for my targeted taste ? (Range 4000-6000 USD)
Are Horns a possible target? (Acapella and Avantgarde seems too pricey)
It can be both a small monitor or a floor speaker. I am not a fanatic of hard bass also because in the new room it will just be too much.
Many thanks and hope you will accept to respond, it looks a struggling experience downgrading but sometimes priorities shall be different.
