New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k


Narrowing down my selection and the reference 3 a mm de capo with all the current upgrades seems to be the winner thus far. That speaker is around 3k. In the next sequence of spending upwards..we have the 3k to 6k bookshelves..im interested in what anybody has listended to that is mind blowing.

I have heard great things about your speaker, mostly on AG.

As you may know I've become extremely impressed with current offerings from Wavetouch Audio. I would be very interested in a comparison between
the Clearwave Duet 6 and a pair of current model GT's. Do you happen to be in the Los Angeles area?...or know of another owner here that might be game for comparing the strengths and weaknesses of each?

Thanks
Nonoise,

What model are you referring to? Tony's speakers are very unique...like Tony. His speakers are extremely revealing and pure etc. I have not done a direct comparison with Tony's speakers but the GT SE's, which are Alex's top speaker @ $3500 are presenting true 3 dimensional see-through sound within its frequency range that presents (in my opinion) a Wilson-esque subjective fullness but with a purity and ability to pull every bit of micro acoustic detail and portrait it with its accurate amount of pressurization...from the recording... to the extent your equipment is capable. That may sound like fluff but in all honesty, for a small 2 way it can do some things I've never heard before. There's a fine line between dynamically accurate yet not be too fast so that the leading edge still serves the harmonic fabric which must seem to hang in the air... Somehow this speaker captures both; It has accurate (subjectively realistic) micro (especially) and macro dynamics with true harmonic definition and complexity, even sweetness. It is not perfect however (what is) and like any truly great loudspeaker (transparent and mostly characterless) if time isn't taken to optimize...you won't reach the summit. And for the record, I think some of Tony's speaker can be too fast...If you get my meaning.
Nonoise,

Nice job on your in room measuring. What are the dimensions of the room?

Thanks
Nn,

For the cost...The cables that I have found to be the most neutral and fast, open and clear yet still completely fleshing out harmonic content, ie depth and spacial as well as you are there vocals is ZENTARA Reference. Pure copper 8 meter pair, Furutech spades around a grand. Unbelievable value.
