Speaker Suggestions


Hi,

I am looking to upgrade my front speakers (part of my home theater) from Bowers & Wilkins CM8 to the next level. I have narrowed it down to:

Revel C206
Focal 926 
B&W 804 S

Can you please provide some recommendations? I am looking for New/Used in the $2K to $3K range. Thanks

Any specific series from Monitor?

I like them all, but Silver is more punchy, platinum much more neutral and reference quality. Platinum better for a variety of music and HT.

You should listen for yourself, but also scout around for sales. Audio Advisor or Parts Connexion sometimes have recently discontinued items for a song.
If you’re upgrading your front speakers but you haven’t yet added surrounds in the back of your room, get those set up first. Experiencing true surround sound from discrete surround speakers will forever change how you watch movies at home.
Is this for 2-channel as well as HT?  If so, what are you looking to improve upon over the B&Ws?  Most importantly, what aspects of speaker performance and sound reproduction are most important to you?  What electronics are you driving the speakers with?  What are you using for a center speaker if any?  Sorry for all the questions, but the more info you give here, the better and more useful the rcommendations will be.
