My reasoning for picking these speakers is that reviews indicate that they are similar to my PSB Golds but perhaps a bit more open. I dont want to give up the richness of the Golds. I listen to mostly 60s and 70s Classic Rock, Blues and Early Jazz. No Classical, Grunge, Electronica, Thrash Metal or Rap. I want power and quickness, with a full sound and not etched or strident in the highs. Tonal balance is more important than pinpoint imaging. Dont have to go into the 20hz range, but should sound effortless above the mid 30s. No booming,muddy bass.
Considering Sonus Faber Liuto, Revel F52, JM labs
Considering Sonus Faber Liuto, Revel F52, JM labs Electra 1028 be, PSB Synchrony One and Paradigm S8 as a possible replacement for PSB Stratus Gold. I am very satisfied with the overall sound of the Golds and really have no complaints in any particular area, but they are 15 years old and if I can get a little more clarity and oomph out of a newer speaker, I would make the change.
I want to be able to keep the warmth of the Golds, but maybe add a little quickness. The above candidates seem to offer what I am looking for, but auditioning them all is a problem. So, if you have any experience with any I'd appreciate an honest opinion as to whether they would be an upgrade.
