I am in the same boat. About to order the Cabasse Muranos. Have never heard them so will be taking a flyer, but from all the research I've done it seems like it could be the perfect speaker for me and my setup. They may be what you are looking for as well.
looking for bookshelves - Another usual boring speaker discussion
i am looking for bookshelf speakers to pair with hegel H400 in my condo. i have Wilson watt puppies in my house and absolutely love the sound of the WPs 50th anniversary.. WPs are paired with d'agostino momentum C2 and progression s350.
i will be placing them on a granite shelf near a wall. sort of a klitchen counter.
i listened to SF Amators and BW 805d4, both somewhat laid back, SF Amators i did not like at all. too warm, bass lower mids were overpowering the treble. Also listened to wilson tune tot- lows are an issue. with the 5.75in woofer.
i am now seriously considering the focal sopra 1. i have not auditioned them yet but will do in next week or 2. i know one can't get a full picture from youtube but i have been listening with headphones to several youtube pistes where they do A-B or even A-B-C.
i find the focals and wilsons sound similar. Wilson's have a bit more clarity in the upper mids but overall similar, so i think i will like them.
Would appreciate suggestions and any more recommendations form the experienced audiophiles herewith vast knowledge base.
thank you
Amar
