There is a listing here for Harbeth P3’s rosewood for $1525.00. You should make an offer on them!
Loudspeaker Recommendations: Standmount or Small Footprint Floorstanding under $2k
Hi there,
Having received great recommendations here over the years I figured I’d check back in while I’m considering my next move.
Current system:
-- Totem Rainmakers (on sand filled speaker stands)
-- Heed Obelisk SI III Integrated Amp (built in phono)
-- Bluesound Node 2i into a Chord Mojo DAC
-- Clearaudio Concept TT with MM V2 cartridge
-- Cabling by Audioquest and Signal Cable
Here’s what I currently love about how my system sounds:
1) Instrument articulation is very nice. I really enjoy the timbre of instruments whether it’s the sustain of a drum or cymbal, the crunchiness of distorted electric guitars, or the airiness of an upright bass.
2) Imaging for days... It’s massive and very three dimensional. This makes listening fun and engaging for me.
3) Instrument separation is wide and easy to pinpoint.
I really do love how this system sounds, but am looking for a speaker that can offer more lower end dynamics at reasonable, or relatively moderate, listening volumes. I don’t want super deep bass, but just a touch more to help fill in what’s desired. Does this make sense?
Budget is no more than $2k, but ideally want to spend around $1500, and happy to purchase pre-owned to help stretch my dollars further.
