Try the reference 3a decapos.As is almost always the case the best are rarely vocalized and go unnoticed by the masses here at audiogon.They are remarkably live sounding, not hi fi sounding so you will have to look pretty deep inside yourself to admit what you really want out of your system and experience of said.The decapos are the end result of about 3 decades of metamorphoses into what you hear today.I am a satisfied customer and nothing more.
Is it worth it?
I'll make this as brief as I can. I have a 15K front end, Audio Research, Theta, VPI etc. Retired to a small house, gave up my Von Schweikert 4.5s and listening room as part of the compromise my wife and I made. My room now is so small I need a monitor to try to get something I can live with with the quality of sound I'm use to. Nothing in this small town to hear, so can anyone suggest an alternative small speaker with state of the art sound? Envolving yet revealing. Thinking of Revel, Tyler, Totem but don't want to spend that kind of money if a lower cost speaker would come close, don't forget the room is the limiting factor. Help, before I throw in the towel!
