FWIW: I'm a KEF 201 Ref owner (Mk-I).
The 201s are excellent, balanced speakers but are not as articulate at low volume as my Thiel 1.6s.
Small and Excellent Speakers
After demoing the new B&W Signature Diamond speakers, I'm convinced that small is not always bad. Their limited edition speakers are a 2-way floor standing loudspeaker with an effortless and sweat sound. Their Dimensions are:
36.6 x 9.1 x 14.8 (H x D x W) in inches. Weight: 55 lbs. Unfortnuately they are $18,000/pair.
I am looking to replace a set of 1991 JBL L7 loudspeakers with a smaller set of floor standing loudspeakers. They will be driven with a McIntosh MC402 solid state power amp (400w) and a McIntosh C2200 tube preamp.
Question for all:
Are there other small-footprint speakers that sound excellent and are less than $5,000?
Thank you.
