I went from forests to adagios...for me the adagios are a better choice,the forests sound perfect for what you are describing.Look no further,clarity is there strong point.
Looking for Almost Full Range Speakers
Suggestions would be helpful in the Used less than $3500 price range with the following:
1. no leanness- (weighty and full required)
2. no upper roll off- crisp, clear, crystalline, clean top end both Highs and Mids- a very "live" sound and presence
3. detailed mids/ midbass w/ presence
4. slam, weight-impact in low end down to at least 30hz - but the lower the better
5. transparent and resolved
6. can be satisfying at low or moderatly high volmes
7. around 100 lbs per speaker- my back won't take much more
room is 12X18X8 rectangular and stuffed family room
musical preferences: classic jazz, r&b. Speakers are to be used with a solid state integrated at 160 watts into 8 ohms and with tubed sources. Lots of choices in the classifieds- Hyperion, Tyler, Von Schweikert, Thiel, Dali, Acoutic Zen, Dynaudio, Selah?
Won't get to audition- help with a short list would be great.
Thanks,
Foster
