CJ Equipment - Speaker Recommendations

Here is another perspective: after years of experience with the Kensington and other models in the Prestige Line, I can say that Kensington offer most of all the qualities of Yokrminster, Canterbury and even Westminster. One of my best hifi-buddies has Turnberry. We have tested my amps on his speakers; Kensington is another animal. In the Kensington you have that magical transparency in the midrange that comes from alnico pepperpot tweeter. I even know a guy that had Yorkminster and changed it for Kensington, because he did not lose anything in the midrange, only tamed some of the bass. Of course you have to check them out with your nice amps, but I do not think Kensington will disappoint you.

I had Premier 12s and the 16LS a few years back and found excellent results from that wonderful combo with the Audio Physics Virgo and Avanti speakers. I believe they still have the Virgo in their line-up; of course its been refreshed since that day, and I haven't heard the most recent, but may be worth consideration as current specs and design carry the tradition. Lifelike midrange and highs with spectacular imaging. Best of luck with your search.

After reading a few of your posts and seeing some of your equipment I was interested in what you had ended up with. I have a CJ Premier 14 pre, Sota Star/SME V and a Sota Sapphire/SME III, Odyssey amps, Adiago speakers and love the set up. To many cartridges to list but love the Lyra Delos, Audioquest 7000 Fe5, Sumiko Talisman Virtuoso Dti.
