Monitor Audio Silver 500 7G. Stereophile Class A rated - and if you listen to them you'll understand why. The combination of effortless clarity, dynamics, range and soundstage are hard to find in a single speaker, let alone one that costs only $3400 per pair. With you Evo 300 you have 100+ w/Ch, which means a pair can generate roughly 113 dB in a typical listening room. That's really loud, so you're Led Zeppelin a d Pearl Jam sessions are covered. As well their voicing and detail means Norah Jones will be well served also. There have been lots of very good speakers recommended, all with one or two strong suits, but none overall are better than MA S 500 7Gs.
Speaker upgrade for Primaluna EVO 300 - Looking to find some audio nirvana bliss!
I have a Primaluna EVO 300 with KT120s running into Rega RS5 speakers. When I use my tube Fosgate phono stage, the system is pretty awesome. ( Warm thick and alive).
Without the phono stage, the sound is a little thinner, a little less bass, and a little less alive. I've had my Rega speakers for almost 15 years and am ready to upgrade.
I listen to rock: REM, Nora Jones, Sound Garden, Pearl Jam, Zeppelin, etc.
I have an old Cayin Spark HA-1A EL84 headphone amp I listen to with Grado PS500e headphones. That's the sound I want. Thick and real. It draws me in.
My budget is up to $5,000. I'm good with used.
I'm dealing with limited space or I probably would've already bought the Klipsch Forte IV speakers. I need something no more than 12" wide. I'd prefer small towers, like my current Regas.
What speakers am I looking for?
