Speaker upgrade


Good morning all, hope everyone is well.

My planned HIFI change for 2023 is a change in loudspeakers. My top contenders are JBL L100, Klipsch Forte IV or Corwall IV’s, another couple I am very interested in are the Volit Razz, and possibly the Paradigm F80.

System consists of Rogue RP-1, Rogue Atlas Mag III, Line Magnetic CD-24, MOFI Master deck and Master tracker.

Room is an untreated living room 15x15, hardwood with thick throw rug and lightly furnished.

I have listened to the Klipsch and the Paradigm, enjoyed them both. They are different animals as one would imagine.

I listen to mostly Jazz, Rock and "American Roots" (not modern country).

Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.

@doyle3433, since you mentioned listening "mostly to Jazz", I would recommend adding Revel to your list. Frankly, however, the Revel line in your budget range will do justice to just about every genre of music, as will your MoFi Ultradeck+M. Full disclosure: I own a pair of Revel and your MoFi deck, powered by a McIntosh amplifier.

This would be a stretch for your budget, if your intention is to buy new, but I would REALLY, REALLY recommend you do some serious seat-time with a pair of Aerial Acoustics 6T, even if you have to do some significant travelling to spend time with them in, of course, a scheduled and carefully orchestrated, critical listening session. I'm not terribly familiar with your amplification source, however. The Aerial require a lot of juice. So, make certain your amp can generate the kind of current (not watts) the Aerial need to sign like the angels.
