Looking for Speaker Recommendations


Hi,

I am getting a new system and am looking for speaker recommendations. I will have a ma8950 and will, at least initially, be streaming exclusively. Focal and B & W are too bright and fatiguing. Wilson SabrinaX are good except for the price. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Just acquired a pair Focal Kant II’s

If placed properly in a treated room

my results are not bright

Now they are $11,000 new and you can pick up 

a preowned pair $6,000 or below 

They are superb and balanced and 

even coming from Monitor Audio bright 

these aren’t bright

Good luck WillyT

If you like Wilson and want new consider the Aerial Acoustics 6T. It’s non-fatiguing and a good match for your musical tastes. In addition to used Wilson’s you can consider a used pair of the Aerial Acoustics 7T or older 7B. They are a bit larger than the 6T and will give you another half octave of low bass. 

Agree w the recommendations for Spendor D7 and Sonus Faber Olympica ii. Would definitely also give Devore Gibbon Super Nines an audition.

Salk would have something for that size room. I sold my old Songtowers to someone who had B&Ws. He asked if I had the subwoofers on. There were no subs in the room. I knew I had them sold at that point.
