I would highly recommend Pure Audio Project Quintet15 with your favorite type of center driver. Best speakers I've ever owned, and one of the best I've ever heard are my Trio15 Horn1. They are high sensitive and easy to drive so can be powered by lower wattage amps. Dynamic, detailed, punchy, and musical. No sub required.
seeking advise please on my short list for new speakers? (15k budget)
for a two channel system, can be towers or stand mounts
seeking a lively, forward, energetic sound with good bass and strong dynamics that maintain instrument separation at higher volumes , willing to move into active studio monitors
my shortlist as follows;
-all Legacy Audio offerings within my budget
-ATC SCM 40 or 40a
-ATC SCM25a pro MK2
-Dynaudio Confidence 30
-Dynaudio Focus 50
-Dynaudio Core 59
-Focal Trio 11be
open to further recommendations also
thanks
