I really don't understand using smallish two ways in otherwise decent systems.You only ever get a shrunken sort of sound.I went through a stage of trying some to suit a smallish room /second system and did own some of the better ones but never found them very satisfying.The vast majority of them have fake boosted mid bass which is annoying and the few that are accurate sound too lightweight which is not satisfying either.They also tend to lack dynamics and efficiency .Give me a pair of decent sealed box three ways any day.
Finding a Bookshelf for Luxman C900U/M900U
Hi everyone, I’m finding a bookshelf to replace the B&W 802D. My genre: Mainly Jazz & Acoustic Pop, 20% of Classical/Opera, and some Bossa Nova,
Here is my story, I used to have a B&W 802D powered by the Luxman C/M-900U and Holo May KTE. However, the 802D is quite big for my room (WDH: 4m x 5m x 2.7m), the 802D create a tremendous bass in my room, which sometime make me feel tired when listenning in the long session. So I decide to move down to the bookshelf which will help me to avoid the room mode.
The budget is around $5k -> $7k (secondhand speaker is a great choice).
My wish is TAD CE1 but out of budget. I have some name in my mind:
- Focal Utopia Diablo (Ver 2 not Evo)
- Dynaudio Confidence C1 Signature
- B&W 805 D3
