I second Rick's recommendation. As you are in Europe, you may be able to audition a pair of KIM.
I had a long listen to the Marten Parker Duo, but ended up buying the KIM.
Here's a link to a comprehensive review by Martin Colloms (in pdf form):
Magico A1 or Sopra 1 or Marten Oscar Duo
Hello,
I am looking for a new speaker to replace my 803d3’s. I don’t need the lowest frequencies in my 4 by 6 meter room. So, what would be a good replacement?
Can someone tell me about differences in sound?
- Focal Sopra 1
- Magico A1
- Marten Oscar/ Parker Duo
My amps are: pass labs xp12, Bryston 14bsst2
cd: simaudio 650d, Bryston bcd3.
thanks!,
