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

How about some Falcon Ls3/5a?

Fritz, Monitor Audio and Dynaudio are some you should listen to.

 

Dynaudio isn't the smoothest, but it excels at low volume.

  • New or used?

(That seems like a large bedroom by the way.)

Are you in the UK?
Or where are you?

If auditioning is possible add Proac Tablet Signatures to your list and possibly Audionote UK too for their evolved Snell designs, probably the K or J but these are meant to be used in corners, or at least with a wall in close proximity to their backs.

More to discover
