im bored so i will chime in....look for a pr of Michael Green Chameleon II or III speakers. ive got mine in Piano White, the newest ones are made by hand by i heard by Amish master wood craftsmen and the finishes are very attractive, just what the Wife wants. they are super easy to drive, they are making serious magic with a SET Cary 572Se 20 watt mono, and an Air Tight ATM1 36 watt push pull integrated.
Recommend speakers for a strange move
*I* think it's strange, anyway... Maggie 3.6 currently in system, and the WAF factor has started to kick in (after 3 YEARS!)
Also considering downgrading gear from separates to receiver or integrated.
Currently auditioning Infinity Intermezzo 2.6; very nice, but being bookshelves they may be overshadowed by my room... 17 x 21 with 18' cathedral ceiling and open on the entire back wall.
I am considering a high-value, low price floorstander. Some that come to mind are Audes Blues, Vandersteeen 2CE, Gershman Chameleon, Sonus Faber Grand Piano, etc. I would like to spend under $2K and used is fine, even preferable.
Please chime in with your opinions/experiences. Also pls keep in mind the WAF factor, which is an element in the desire to change to simpler electronics. I may end up doing nothing, but you all know how this hobby is; one just needs a change from time to time.
PS I have been happy with the Maggies but have recently become interested in HT and find that integrating the Maggies into HT is not quite the right way to go. The movie realism, IMHO, is better rendered by box speakers.
I do not have the space for another system so it will have to be integrated.
Thanks.
