Graham Chartwell LS3/5 owner here. I listen mostly at low volumes. For my tastes,I am not lacking any detail whatsoever. They are mainly driven by First Watt amps. (J2 or F5) occasionally by a pair of Monarchy Audio SM70 mkII’s. I think any of the British mini monitors would be a solid choice. (Harbeth,Spendor,Falcon,ProAc,Rogers…..)
Need help to select a speaker
Hi Audiophile people,
I need help to select the smoothest speaker of all.
I grew up using Spendor, Rogers, Tannoy, Wharfedale. I was always fan of British silk sound speakers like Rogers LS35.
The harshest speaker that I had was JBL which still has a smooth sound.
I don't have time or chance to listen to all the new speakers but in need to select a near field listening speaker for Jazz, Blues, vocals, Acoustics with maximum details in low volume.
I am looking at both Bookshelf and Floor standing but I should get better sound quality from a Bookshelf speaker in my experience.
Please share your experience and let me know what I should look at.
I am looking at Brand New and under $5K.
Cheers
Mike
