If you like the D’Appolito type of speaker, check out Usher speakers. IMO they blow away the 20.7’s or even the 30.7’s that I just heard. Check out the x-towers, BE-10, or BE-20’s. If you have a medium size room, look at the Mini Dancer II’s. I use the latest Classe monoblock amps with the Usher Mini Dancer II’s and with the newer Usher x-towers, fantastic sq
New speakers for my system
I am currently running a bi-amped system comprised of a pair of 360° dispersion transmission lines that are tuned to 17Hz and a pair of 2 ways using Scanspeak Ti HF and 6" full range drivers. The 2 ways are crossed over at 4k with 2nd order Butterworths.
I am driving them all with a pair of Classé strereo amps. The crossovers to each amp are via a DSP.
The plan is to eliminate the 2 ways and replace them with a better imaging pair of something that will not require digital filtration but will only see the digital crossover. The crossover can be at a low enough frequency, perhaps 100Hz, so there will be no significant time alignment issues caused by the digital circuitry.
Another option would be to bi-amp a single pair and replace both speaker pairs. This is hard to justify since the T-Ls are pretty effective. In fact I’ve needed to roll them off at 25Hz. They use a pair of the old Focal kevlar cone drivers (8".)
Maybe some time-aligned D’Appolito configuration?
