When you get your "four foot high" speakers, that can do everything that the Kharma 3.2 Enigmas can do, wonder what the wife will do to sabotage that effort? If it was me, I think I would find an extra bedroom, garage, or some other place to make a "man cave" out of, and I would put my system there. Your problem in not in finding a new pair of speakers, it's in accepting the fact, that your wife probably doesn't care for your hobby, and would probably be happier if you move your equipment and speakers elsewhere, than in what is in her mind "The She Cave". Seriously, if you're planning of $10-12K, then that money could be well spent in making a room (acoutically isolated, proper sound treatements, dedicated circuits, ect) where you could enjoy your music (and equipment) without intruding upon your wife's decorating taste. You'll be happier, and your wife will be happier, too, and it's probably the route you should be looking at, instead of "four foot high" speakers, hidden behind huge, upholstered chair the size of the "White House".
Need Speakers at least 4 feet high
Very disturbing what wives can do - first it was move them closer to the wall - did so, at significant cost of soundstaging and imaging - next, I come home and there is that huge, upholstered chair that she is crazy about, the size of the Whire House, completely obscuring the speaker! "What's the problem"? She asks, get higher speakers, then!!" So, I need your help. To do just that. I cant even see the right speaker now. The house-sized chair is planted right in front of the right speaker! Her revenge.
Budget - about $10-12K, must have coherence of Kharma 3.2 Enigmas, which they will replace. (And which some lucky soul with a kinder wife can buy:) Must image 2 ft from front wall, 8 ft apart, room size, 23' X 16 ft X high A type ceiling. System: EMM CDSD/DCC2, Sota Cosmos V, EAR 324, AS MP-1, AS MA 2.2,(200 WPC, Class A, OTL - likes 8 ohm inpedance) PAD Dominus S/C.
This is a serious request of y'all, so please, despite your suggestions of dumping the chair and the wife, let me know if there are any speakers out there that I should look at.
Thanks.
