Hello guys. i'm assuming we are talking about previously enjoyed speakers here. I see many very good suggestions at various price points.However.... at the $1K mark,given the proper room and set up,and when recreating the illusion of real music in your room,for the music lover... the original Quad 57 has no real competition!I have also seen 3 panel acoustats as well as their 2+2 model sell for less than a kilo-buck here on the gon,they are pretty near indestructable,Have decent bass,very good midband resolution and play loud enough to rock and roll, as well as throw a giant 3 dimensional sound stage.That said...They do need some power to energize them, Can be mesmerizing with powerful tube amps.Simply put, a no brainer for the money. Cheers!
Best value speakers available
I was intrigued by a thread about buying new speakers in the 10k range, a speaker that just kept poping up was the magnepan 3.6. I agree that that is a super value for the money but then again so are the 1.6's. What are you picks for the best "value" speaker out there. I would prefer not to hear the wilson audio X-1 grand slamm, unless of course you are bill gates! thanks in advance for any comments.
