Ohm Walsh's. There are models that are designed to work well in large rooms. The company has been in business for 40+ years and does not advertise. Located in Brooklyn, NY. I have a pair of the older Sound Cylinders (ca1989) with the 8" Walsh driver. They sounded great playing the AC/DC CD Stiff Upper Lip (amp was the Carver TFM-15cb). Even listening off-axis they sounded phenomenal! 3-D imaging from anywhere in the room! Forget typical box speakers with forward-firing drivers - the Walsh speakers put the performers right in the room!
Intimate, warm and holographic alternative
Me another time... Sorry for the inconveniences.
Yes, recently I started a discussion here with the title: " ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee)". See: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/atc-scm150-or-jbl-synthesis-or-jbl-vintage-or-new-klipsch-jub...
Last post from ohlala, advising that studio monitor type sound is not the most "enjoyable" for him, was revealing. I could hear yesterday an SCM20 (yes, I know it´s not comparable in many aspects with the SCM150) but the type of sound have not convinced me.
So now I´m more on the warm side, looking for a intimate and holographic sound with great scene. Really useful some old threadas about this, especially: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/seeking-advice-on-speakers-that-create-an-intimate-2-channel-...
I would like to hear personal opinions and experiences about the best speakers that give that musical sensation in which the devices "disappear". Suggestions, brand, models...
I was searching some brands and models and here are some that have caught my attention:
- Gershman Acoustics: Avant Garde
- Legacy Audio: Aeris + Wavelet
- Devore Fidelity: Orangutan O/96 (fatigue??; little too "in your face"??; fleshy bass??)
- Harbeth: 40.3 XD (not a true rock and roll speaker??)
- Klipsch
- Spendor
- Tannoy
Listening position is 9 feet from the speakers. My room is big: 41 square meters. I´m worried about bass. I hear a lot of music but specially rock, so I would like something capable.
Thanks so much to everyone. You are very helpful.
