I think if the Wharfedale Denton 80 is where you're setting the budget, and fatigue is the number one thing you're trying to fix, you might really like them. I also fatigue very easily, and finally got my system fatigue free with the Monitor Audio Gold series standmounts and Audioquest DBS cables throughout. The Monitor Audio Silver 6th Generation speaker line is on clearance at Audio Advisor right now putting it almost in line with your budget. I had some Silver 100's for a long time and loved them.
Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening?
Hi guys,
I have been searching for a pair of small passive speakers for near-field listening for a long long time. Ideally, something with <27 cm depth would be a great fit. A relaxed/non-fatigue/good bass sound would be preferred.
I tried these.
B&W 607s2 -- currently using -- can be aggressive/bright quite often
Dynaudio Evoke 10 --- pronounced at 2-5 kHz, sounds thin to me.
LS 50 meta ---- bass a bit tide... need some volume to sound good.
Can you guys recommend some other speakers that can do the job? What about Mission QX1 MkII or Wharfedale Denton 80? My amp is Nad c275bee with a Schiit freya+ preamp. Thanks a lot guys!
