Last month I auditioned and bought speakers, and have an additional suggestion, perhaps obvious, but easy to overlook. When you make appointments with the dealers, ask them to hook up the speakers that interest you to an amp that is similar to the amp you own. Or just bring your own amp. The source components for auditioning should also be as similar as practicable to those you own/use.
Looking for speaker advice-$10-20k
I'm upgrading speakers and am soliciting opinions. 16x27 ft room, Anthem STR Integrated. Mostly Jazz, accoustic, country, classic rock. No electronic. Looking at Sonus Fabre Nova III or V, Paradigm Persona 5F, Magico A3, Dynaudio 660i, Focal Kanta 3 or Sopra 2 or Totem Wind. I've heard the Totems, will hear others this weekend, but would appreciate informed opinions. I need the support of a good dealer, so used not really an option. That also kind of limits brand choice-not comfortable ordering online and trusting my (nonexistent) skills when things go wrong.
Thanks!
Thanks!
