If you were willing to go to 2500.00 i would buy the pair of talon peregrines with stands on audiogon right now. This is possibly the best deal i have ever seen on this site. I own the peregrine Xs and i love them. The peregrines are about 90% as good as the new ones. They have 20 hz bass and have a front firing port. I have them about 8 inches from the rear wall and about 3 inches from the side wall on terrible stands and they sound incredible. My room is very small as you can tell. They seriously compete with wilson watt puppy 6s very well. They are much better than B&W 802s and i prefer my peregrine Xs over dynaudio confidence 5s. They are also super easy to drive.
foiled again...
after thinking I had settled on a speaker, the Soliloquy 5.3...it just occured to me that I had been listening to them in a room where they were about 5 feet from the wall.
I've read multiple comments about these speakers needing room to breathe because of the rear ports. I don't really like stand mounted monitors. I think it's too hard to get the sub to integrate right most of the time.
Can anyone recommend another floorstander for under $2000 that is as good as the Soliloquy 5.3? I'm sure I'll get many responses here. I've also been considering the Silverline Sonatina II. I found a great price on some demos.
Anyone know if Vienna acoustics have this positioning problem?
