If you are looking for a concert experience look for any large Vintage SRS-SDA series speaker in good shape, spend some money upgrading them and you will absolutely have your experience and loss of hearing to go with it. Since I love the concert experience I cannot part with my Polk SRS-SDA 3.1TL's. I do however switch with a B&W 803D2 when I just want to lay back.
Concert Experience for $5k?
I have a budget of $5k for new/used stereo speakers.
I have a VPI turntable, PrimaLuna Dialogue preamp and a Cary Audio V12 tube amp. (yeah, the one with 12 EL34’s sticking out of it) I’ve got quality gear and plenty of horsepower.
I am chasing the rock concert experience. When you’re at a live show drums have a sharp attack and crack. Bass/kick drums have a punch you can feel. ....that’s what I want to feel when I play a live album.
Which speakers - new or used - would you recommend to recreate that rock concert feeling?
