@grislybutter What kind of list is this. SoundLab doesn't even get a mention. I'm beside myself with indignation! 🤣
New room needs new speakers, I need your help
Hello everyone!
I have a new house and a new acoustically treated room, but it is very small: we are talking roughly 12' by 16'.
I use a pair of Dali Euphonia MS4 and I feel they need a bigger room to shine, the volume I need for them to sound full is just too much for my modest room. I really enjoy accurate timbres and I need a beautiful midrange and midbass, I listen mostly to women vocals and jazz.
I am looking for a pair of speakers that will cost me a maximum of 5K on the used market.
I am very sensitive to fatiguing treble, I don't look for absolute treble clarity, I love an easy listening speaker.
My ideal speaker would be the PMC IB2SE which I auditioned extensively, but sadly it is out of my budget.
I am open to your suggestions!
Rest of the system is
Sony Ps-X9 turntable on a Sutherland Phono
Analogue Audio Maestron Anniversary integrated amplifier
Lampizator DAC
Wattson Digital Streamer
Muon Filter
Silent Angel switch
All Luna Mauve Cables
Everything but the amplifier pluggeg in Plixir

@maurice89 I won't make a speaker recommendation but I will suggest you try placing the speakers on the long wall. When your room dimensions are entered into programs that calculate the best combination of L - W - H, your particular room gets a better rating using the long wall placement. Just something to consider, IMHO. Cheers. |
@maurice89 fair enough. I did spend a couple months a/b’ing a set of Dynaudio Heritage Specials. What a beautiful sounding speaker. Just packed them up and sold them to fund some other investments. But, they have a really smooth high to mid transition and the bass from them was astonishing. Drove them with a Pass Labs X150.8. FWIW. |
