Best speaker in the $4-6k range.


I am trying to find a speaker that will work well with my KRELL components. I am currently using a pair of B&W N-803's and they tend to be a bit fatiguing at times.

Essentially, what I would like to find is a pair capable of handeling high spl's (much like my previous N-802s), but, with a more liquid upper midrange and sweeter less glaring highs. Used is Okay.

My room is 14'6' by 22' and is open to the dinning room kitchen area on one side with 8'cellings.

By any chance Dynaudio Contour 3.3s or Talon Audio Korus meet my criteria?

Thanks in advance,

Damon

You could save a bit and try the Revel F30, or the F50 for more slam. The B&W's hot tweeters are probably NOT a good match with Krells, I concur. The Aeriel 7b, 8 and 10t are all good bets, but I prefer the smoother mids of the Revel.
Take a peek at room treatment to reduce low-treble fatigue, too. Have fun.
