There’s a pair of Joseph Audio Pulsars at US Audio Mart for $3650 (retail $7700). They’ll do all that you’re looking for and more and would be a great starting point to build a system around. If in the unlikely event they’re not to your taste you can sell them for likely little or no loss, but once you hear them I doubt that’ll be the case. They’re also not a difficult load so should work fine with your current amp for now. Totems are great too but usually require more power to get the best out of them. Best of luck.
Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else?
Hi folks,
I'm considering Salk speakers but may not have them close enough to audition them.
Could anyone compare the bookshelves with my current leading prospect, the Dynaudio Evoke 10 or Special 40?
Here are some facts that relate to my situation:
ROOM: either 13x10 ft; 7 ft ceilings or 15 x 27ft w/10 ft ceilings.
POWER: Adcom separates (535L 60w/ch. with GTP 400 preamp)
MUSIC TASTES: mostly jazz and classical but a fair amount of rock.
CURRENT SPEAKER MOST LIKELY TO BUY: Dynaudio Evoke 10 or Special 40
SALK ITEMS CONSIDERED:
SongSurround I
WOW1
SongSurround Plus
Supercharged SongSurround
SPEAKERS RULED OUT:
Focal 906
B&W bookshelf (I forget the number)
Dali Oberon
Elacs of any kind
Martin Logan
Finally, has anyone tried the Salk 30 day trial for bookshelves? What did that cost in shipping, overall? (A rough estimate is fine.)
Thanks again for your time and insight.
Best wishes,
David in Denver
P.S. There are Totems in the area but I have not heard them yet.
