Sound Stage and Imaging


I love speakers who 'paint a big picture' (I am literally closing my eyes and trying to SEE a picture). Therefore I THINK I like to see IMAGING and BIG SOUND STAGE. And also like DYNAMICS.

Being frugal (just not willing to spent audiophile level money on it), I love to persuit 'bang for buck' solutions in general.

With above goals in mind for a speaker: what hits the marks in the low fi (audiphile scale) $2k (used or new) budget range. (I have 2 setups: one HUGE room, one 20x20).

Speakers, speakers, speakers.

Without good recordings, good acoustics, good source and proper Pre/Amplification ..... no ticky, no laundry.

You have a 20x20xH? room, the potential for imaging is fab, but if you also like DYNAMICS/Slam, you'll need an amp that'll deliver clean grunt. To get speakers & amplification for $2G`s is a pipe dream, but ya have to start somewhere.

Hunt for 8ohm speakers with an efficiency north of 93db. Speakers that'll mate up nicely with a Bryston 3Bsst squ/3 (3B`s are a bargin) ..... that ought to fill the volume of your room for starters.

Enjoy the journey.
