I'd go up to the Ascend Sierra 2's...
Best Bookshelf Speakers for "more" than near-field listening
Hello, I am looking to choose one of several small bookshelf speakers that I own, to pair with either a Sansui AU-D7 or Peachtree Nova 150. Will be streaming through a WiiM Ultra. Will mostly be listening to classic rock, prog and a little jazz (all at moderate volumes).
Options are:
Ascend Acoustics Sierra 1
Proac Super Tablette
Focal Chorus 806V
Solus SC-6
Will be sitting about 8-10 feet away and they will be on stands about 8' apart. There is open space to the sides and the room has high vaulted ceilings. Larger floor standers not an option at this time. I realize that what matters most is how they sound to me, which I will check out, However I won't be the only one listening and am also interested in your insight as to which of these might perform best in such a setup. Thanks!!!

Um, if you own them why are you asking us??? Just listen to them and pick the ones that sound best with your music. If it’s me I’d go with the ProAcs because they image/soundstage and disappear extremely well and are very musical so will likely sound good to a wide variety of listeners. The Sierras would be my second choice, but again it really depends on what you like more than anyone else’s opinion. |
@soix nailed it ….. full stop. It’s a could-not-be-any simpler in-house A-B-C-D direct bakeoff exercise, just waiting to be implemented. |
