I'd second the Legacy Audio Calibres. The AMT tweeter is very extended and airy; very good dynamics/power handling and the midrange is wonderful. I've owned a pair for 3 years and love them-

High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
I have to downsize my listening room. Looking to get a pair of bookshelf speakers for a room size 13x14 which has furniture carpet and I plan to do some acoustic treatment if needed. Would love to get some subs as well. Currently I have rels510 which might be too much for this small room..
My audio chain - Aurender N20, dCS Rossini + clock, luxman509z amp.
Music preference - Acoustic, rock, pop, piano, instrumental.. pretty much different genres.
Sound preference - bold close to you vocals, clean detailed sound. Slightly warm is fine.
Current candidates - TAD ME/CE, Joseph audio pulsar2, dynaaudio, Sonia Faber..
Any inputs here are much appreciated.. thanks in advance
The Harbeth 30.1 monitors are fairly large 2-ways. On the face of it, they might seem kind of large for your room. They are not: I have mine in a desktop/nearfield configuration in a 13' X 13' home office, and they sound amazing. I try not to think how great they might sound in a better setup than mine. No matter: I love them to pieces. A pair is for sale on AG at very good price. No idea if this is a good seller, and if it was me, I'd ask for many more pix. Still, these are well worth considering: |
Hey, saurabhgarg... Best to assume you will require room tuning for maximum performance. A smaller room can be a blessing, especially if it is a dedicated room for music. A highly experienced close friend is having a wonderful time with his Dynaudio Heritage bookshelf speakers in a new, smaller space. A floor standing version has been announced. The mentioned Duch & Duch 8c's are used by Prof Edgar Choueiri to demo the BACCH crosstalk cancelling at audio shows, a mature DSP process I've truly enjoyed for a full year now. After 50+ years of "chase," I would never be without it. Nearfield benefits the BACCH greatly. Best, Pin More Peace (bold print for older eyes) |

So can someone that has been around this joint for a long time explain to this to me? Do the Mods delete your posts if you mention companies that don't advertise with them? I posted a reply yesterday giving the OP information about a speaker manufacturer from my home town in Upper East Tennessee -- Watkins Stereo Center. I gave details on Watkins new Generation 4 speaker that has gotten rave reviews. Today, I got the message below. I had NO PROFANITY in my post. It WAS NOT SPAM. I DID NOT THREATEN anyone. There was NOTHING VIOLENT in my post.
So, what gives? I am absolutely baffled at the decisions made by the "Mods" at this site. How do I find out what was so offensive about recommending the Watkins Generation 4 speakers? Does anyone have the knowledge of how to access the "way back" feature of the internet so I can show what was posted before it was removed? This is ridiculous. I also noticed another thread got the axe within the last few hours. Thank goodness we have people protecting us. OP, check out the Watkins Gen 4 before this gets deleted!
