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
@agbrace I have the KEF Reference Ones as well, not Meta, an excellent recommendation in this price range. Interesting to hear that you had a chance to compare them with Pulsars and chose the KEF’s. The Pulsars were on my list to try, but happened into a deal on the Ref’s and I love them. I did hear Operas at AXPONA this year and made a specific note that I liked them. Given the deal the OP has on those, I think it is low risk to give them a try. |
