I have to endorse what Johnny R says and like the entire Vandersteen line . .but naturally I’m biased since it’s where I put my own money (Model 5s--definitely not a black, rectangular box!). Given what you’ve told us about your preferences, you might also investigate the Goldenear Triton series. Heard a couple of their models at a dealer event a few months ago--were I in the market, I would definitely have arranged a second listen. Seem to be well-reviewed, not conventional boxes, and have a fairly wide price spectrum (as with Vandersteen).
Good looking Towers for < $2000?
Going to upgrade from my Paradigm Studio-20 V5s. These are on stands.
I've decided to go with towers this time. I don't like stands that much.
Anyway, for living room 2ch music. WAF and attractiveness are important for the living room.
Not looking for black rectangular boxes.
I tend to like moderate/soft levels. Jazz, folk, classical, new age, some rock.
I am also looking for a bit more bass than the Studio 20s give me (54Hz low-freq).
Salk looks nice and gets great reviews (SongBirds, SongTowers).
How are PSB? Any other good suggestions?
Thx,
Rob
