I hope we have not lost the OP, but.......if he is still reading this, my questions would be what does he use in his 1st home ( his bio indicates he has / had Gershman Acoustics AGs ) ? He knows something about sounds and music listening, and is probably asking due to the layout and acoustics of this new listening space. So, to the OP. Can you speak about the system in your 1st home and how you use it / enjoy it ? As far as dealers are concerned, Audiogon allows it, so lets all live nicely together. We really are a passionate bunch here on the "Gon.
Speaker recomendation
I just bought a second home and the room where the new system will go is quite large (60’x20’) with a wall of windows. I’m looking for a pair of speakers that will be more for listening in position close to the system but that can still move enough air for when we have lots of people over. Budget is about $10-15K for an amp and speakers. I have a Moon 340i but fear it doesn’t have enough power to move the speakers I’ll get. I was thinking about Golden Ear reference but my wife and I are more classical and jazz listeners and these are better for rock? Suggestions appreciated!
