Make sure you check out any of the Classic Audio Loudspeakers field coil variants.
After spending a few years listening to different speakers, going to audio shows in Europe and in the United States, this type of speaker, field coil drivers, and specifically, the T1.5 Reference is the one that captured my emotion the most. It is so easy to recommend speakers, but harder to actually listen to many. I traveled to many places to listen to a variety of speakers over a period of years to search for a candidate to be the one. But none of these other speakers pleased me as much the way the T1.5s field coil speaker does. Not to say that some of these other speakers were bad, because some are considered world class; however, none of the other speakers gave me the "Call of the Wild" sound and feel that I was craving, despite, their great reviews and many recommendations. It just seemed as if something was missing. This is truly an individual experience as not all will feel the same about speakers I passed over, nor, will they feel the same about Classic Audio Loudspeakers.
Big, yes, but, compared to other speakers, the greatness that these speakers provide, you soon will turn off the lights, close the doors, and get carried away to the recording venue or stage. Oh yeah, these speakers give me great sound; and exceptional upper frequency, midrange, and bass quality. With the high efficiency and dynamic analogous, non sub powered way in which the T1.5 portrays music, you are lulled into an enchanting evening with any musician you select.
Just be forewarned, the ability of these speakers to cast voices into the room will literally make you shake your head in disbelief as I have due to the uncanny and realistic presentation. You are offered a live performance at whatever venue the recording was made. That is how I feel in my custom designed room and with my system.
This is not an easy journey you are on. Spend the time to listen with your ears and achieve the benchmarks that are your special requirements for your next speakers. Been there done that. Good luck. 👍
