Can someone help me choose speakers

I know this is an old post but try OHMs if your not satisfied with what you ended up with

Reference 3A is made in Canada. Hard to beat for the money

I heard
these twice...during HE SHOW and a week ago at CES.
If you like trance..........hear these. I have talked to these guys for 15min about their future while listening to AC/DC and trance music. Room was really bad.....but they did impressed.......

'our experience' might not mean squat to your ears. listen to as many as you can using your cd's on a similar amp. audiophiles have egos too and tend to push personal faves.. i am guilty of this too... But speakers are highly personal taste items. trance music is hardly problematic, compared to acoustical genres it is a walk in the park so don't let that scare you. buy used.

Chris,
Dynaudio speakers are a perfect match for Linn Gear.

Have you tried/heard any of Linn's floorstanders? Some of the older models (the 5140, for instance, or the Ninka--both available used for great prices), have incredible pace and rhythm, and sound better to me than their current line of extremely "akurate" speakers. Also I used to like the Espek speakers, they replaced the 5140's.

Veritas 2.4i would also fit with what you are looking for... good bang for the buck.

I would suggest searching first and foremost for a full-range speaker that has ribbon tweeter and midrange drivers. Or at least one with a ribbon tweeter.

That should narrow your search down to about 5% of all available speakers.

-IMO

go to the montana audio site and check out there speakers. then find somewhere to hear them.
