I have listened to Diva, PSB, Dynaudio and Siloquy. I would suggest either the Diva or Siloquy. I think they both sound more natural and musical. although they don't have the bass of some of the PSB or Dynaudio--but I never really liked the sound of those speakers very much. Speakers are very personal, while this is my opinion--you will probably find that others feel the exact opposite. That makes it very difficult to recommend a speaker, knowing that personal preferences and the need to listen to them can not be replaced.
Diva , PSB , Dynaudio or Meadowlark ?
Trying to stay in the $1500-2000 range,Ive kinda narrowed it down to these speakers: Diva 6.1, PSB Silver i, Dynaudio Audience 80, Meadowlark Shearwater Hot Rod. I,ve only read reviews and have no place to audition but they seem to fit my criteria which is 1 full range speaker with good Bass response,2 a relatively small footprint,3 not super fussy about placement and 4 look good (for wife). My equipment is Conrad Johnson MF 2200 (200wpc) and PFR preamp. Both are SS not tubes. My listening room (living rm) is 15' x 20' with a 12'x12' dining room at the end with no wall of separation. Speakers are on the short wall, however because of a door in that wall I only have about 12' of wall space for placement. Which of these speakers would you choose? As always your help is appreciated>
