Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver


Hi All,

Love to her recommendations on bookshelf speakers with a 7 inch woofer. I know I should not focus everything on driver size, but I would like a bookshelf that can move some air. Big sound. I currently own Revival Atalante 3.They have a nice 7 inch driver. Just shopping for possible upgrades. My room is 14' X 12'

Please share your best bookshelf speakers... High end only.

Cheers

Not sure what specific upgrades you're looking for. If you're after more air movement, a bigger sound, or deeper bass, the Atalante 5 could be the best candidate, while still retaining the traits you like in the 3. The options might be limitless and people are shooting random darts here unless you specify what you're aiming for.

If you want a bookshelf speaker with bass, listen to the Generation 4 by Watkins Stereo.

If you like the Atalante 3s but want deeper bass, larger soundstage, better imaging etc you can add a pair of subwoofers to your setup and that should do the trick.  You could spend half of what some of the recommendations cost and get excellent subs that would likely give you what you want.  I added a pair of subs to my system and it did all the things I mentioned above. If you don’t want to entertain the idea of subs then forget I mentioned them 😀
