I agree that if you can stretch to $4300, I agree the Spendor A4 would be my choice. They can be placed in small to larger rooms, they are fairly easy to drive and once broken in, are a great all-arounder that has very good bass and offers a very balanced sound. Breaking them in will take some time, but once they settle in, they can play soft yet stay dynamic. They also play nice with a variety of gear, both tube or solid state. I have a pair on order.
Considering Towers in the $3000 range
I am strongly considering a purchase. I am considering the following in no particular order in a large room with high ceilings which I would be driving with a Cary Audio SL-100:
Wharfedale EVO 4.4
Dali Oberon 9
ELAC Carina FS247.4
Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G
Looking for opinion based on experience. My listening preferences are eclectic.
Thanks in advance for responses.
