I have a speaker way under your budget that plays extremely well with the genres you mentioned. My Source Technologies 1.7 SL Reference. Floor standing two way with small footprint. Scanspeak Revelator tweeter and 7" Revelator driver. Built like a tank and has incredibly deep bass with my 37 watt solid state amp! Everyone who has heard it mentions the deep bass. $5,500 brand new. Spend a little north of a grand and they're yours and save a lot of money.
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
Looking to upgrade from my current Rogers LS3/5a + AB1 REL 328 setup . While I love the smooth mids of these speakers (especially on voices/acoustic instruments), I tend to play harder music more frequently (alt/rock/punk/etc) which these do not excel at. I like to play music loud and have a real world living room my system is in (cathedral ceiling, open on one side, many windows. couch between my speakers) so setup is a challenge. I hate harsh sounding speakers.
My current playback system consists of a Oppo-BDP105 (or primarily Roon/JRiver via Ethernet) into a PS Audio DirectStream Jr DAC > Conrad Johnson Premier 14 Tube Pre > Conrad Johnson MF2500a Amp. All run by a PS Audio P5 with a combination of Nordost/Shunyata cabling.
Looking to spend around $4,000-$7,000 but could be flexible. Used or new is fine.
Currently considering:
PSB Imagine T3
Vandersteen Trio CT
Spendor D7
Mangepan 3.7i (don't think this will work with high SPL)
Endeavor Audio E-3
Revel F208
Golden Ear Triton 1
Dynaudio Excite X44
Any other speakers I should be considering based on my equipment, volume preference and music? Anything I should eliminate?
Looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions & thank you in advance
