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?

Also, Von Schweikert speakers will paint your speakers in any color you want.

@motta +1 on Von Schweikert. I have the walnut version of the Endeavor.

They are rear ported, though.  I think it was mentioned that they needed to be close to the wall unless I'm getting posts confused. I don't think they would need to pulled way out into the room, but pushed against the wall would not be ideal

I’ve heard the Focals and the YG. Both great. If your front end tends bright I’d go YG. I have not heard them but the PS Audio are intriguing. 
 

if you go YG you may want to plan for a sub or 2 for the last octave.

I heard them at Upscale in L.A. while on a business trip, I was there to listen to the Vintage 10s....they were driven with Manley electronics, not sure which one but I think it had EL84s.

I fell in love with the Vintage 10s, and decided they would be in my future short list if I could afford them. I asked if I could hear the 1.8s; but they had different electronics Primaluna EVOs, they too were excellent even though I didn't spend much time with them. I had already fallen for the Vintages

So my current short list for speakers is: Fyne Vintage 10s or 12s (though they just releases Classic Gold line), Joseph Audio Perspective 2 Graphene, Volti Lucera or Rival, Revel Salon 2)....and probably a couple of others I can't think of at this second.
