I think with that size room you should try the Joseph Audio Pulsars instead of the Perspectives. I haven't heard the latest B&Ws, but my impression is that they're a step up over the Kevlar driver models of yore. I will say IMHO, there's nothing those older B&Ws did better than JA speakers. Anyway, by all means go hear the Pulsars if you can.
Looking for speaker recommendations
I am trading in my PMC Twenty5.26’s and looking for new speakers. My room is 15 ft. L x 12 ft. W with a 8 ft. ceiling. The speakers will be driven by Metaxas Solitaire monoblocks and a Devialet 200 pre-amp. Some speakers that I can get in my price range are:
B&W 804 D3
Legacy Audio Signature SE
Paradigm Persona F3
Vivid Audio B1
Joseph Audio Perspectives
Dynaudio Contour 60
Magico A3
I am looking for a greater soundstage and bottom end slam while maintaining the clarity of the PMC’s. I listened to the B&W’s and Paradigms and preferred the B&W’s. Not sure if any of the other speakers would be too much for my room or not? Any comments on these speakers would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
