Speaker List narrowed down…

 

This is the final post in a follow up to my two previous posts of “Looking for a narrow baffle small footprint speaker” and “My wife weighed in she wants piano white tower/bookshelf “

Details:

Price range - below $25k

Color: Flexible now but Aesthetics count as it’s a centerpiece to our new gathering room

Also, the only source will be a turntable - Macintosh MT-10 and MP-100 (to be purchased and that’s it), amp is the Rose hifi RS 520 which is 250 wpc and I value the mid-range.

I have pictures of my room but no idea how to post (audiogon clearly hasn’t updated their technology from 30 years ago).

Final Choices with notes:

Fyne Audio 8 (new) or 10 used

Estalon Aura (but too close to wall an issue?),

Reynaud Abscisse Jubilee (beautiful how’s the midrange?)

YG Acoustics 3, (Looks nice narrow baffle)

PS Audio FR20 or 10, (even the 10may be too big)

Perilstein S7T.

Focal Sopra 3

THOUGHTS?

I purchased Monitor Audio’s Platinum 200 3G speakers last year. I am still smiling at their presentation. Complicated classical passages remain defined, varried and spacious. Solo piano is amazing. Yet they can rock with the best.  Beautifully made, esthetically pleasing I’m proud to have them displayed in our listening room.  You will need to know if the 200 or 300 3G suits your space. I wish you all the best on your speaker selection.  But again for me, partnered with Pass equipment, I am totally satisfied with their musical offering……

Paradigm Persona 3F or 5F (well below your price limit), available in piano white and many other colors. Slim, gorgeous, high WAF, and sound beautiful. They are made in Canada by a very well respected and long standing speaker company. I have the 3F and am very happy with them.

The PMC fact.12 Signatures meet your specs: Small footprint, available in gloss white, transmission line with "ports" in front so distance from wall isn't so critical, $25k list.  https://www.avec-sa.com/31064-large_default/pmc-fact-12-signature-a-l-unite.jpg

 

The sound: Dead-on imaging, sweet midrange and supremely neutral with very linear frequency response. I own these in the metallic graphite color.  As @rpeluso did, I extend to you an invitation to listen if you're ever in the Rochester, NY area.
