Hello All-
I have a newly built room in my basement. 15x 30 feet. I am sharing the space with a 7.2.4 theatre and a 2.2 system for music only. Both set ups are100% independent of each other.
Most of my electronics should be OK for now. I thought that it was time to upgrade the speakers for I got to deep into treatments and hardware upgrades.
I was thinking about a pair of Maggie 1.7x’s, but I have concerns they will disappoint when playing more dynamic music like rock or blues. For classical, jazz, vocals etc, I expect amazing results. And I do like some volume.
So, with all of that said, I am looking for stage size, depth and imaging.
Current system is:
- Schilit Kara
- 2x Schiit Aegir V1 (these may be replaced depending on the speakers selected.
- Gustard x26Pro
- Gustard DDC-18
- Gustard 10M Clock
- All cables are Audio Quest River XLR, carbon BNC and HDMI.
- 2x REL 1205 subs
- B&W 705S2’s on FS 700 stands
I mainly stream Qobuz via Audiarvana on a MAC Mini M2.
The floor has thick carpet; ceiling is open rafters painted and the walls will not be treated if at all until after the speakers are selected.
The 705’ are currently 4 feet out and 4 feet off the walls about 8 feet apart. I sit about 15 feet back from them. My point here is that I do not feel placement will be an issue.
I hope that is enough info to get the juices flowing, let’s consider $6000 for budget to start.
Thanks in advance
Scott
