If I had the money and the room....

Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound
Hello- I am looking to spend about 20-30k on used speakers ( guessing they would have been -40K new a few years back). Any suggestions welcome. I have a 14*20 room and I am looking for dynamics, potentially a great sounding horn or equivalent. Excited by Tektons but since I have the budget wondering if there's anything better. I did have the JBL M2s that I really enjoyed and Revel Salon 2s that I didn't so much
Thank you!

Interestingly, you have to keep a supply of ionized gas around which in effect acts as the diaphragm as the plasma excites the atoms of whatever gas it is producing sound. When the gas floats away or is dissipated though, no more sound. Not very practical or I would assume, cheap. In reality, no one has ever improved on the good old dynamic driver which people in the know are always coming up with new ways to configure and implement this legacy technology to achieve whatever sonic milestone they desire for less money and hassle and what the market will rationally except.

You never mentioned your amp ,preamp, very important . B&W 802 series 4, Wilson Sasha DAW, FOCAL Sopra-3, Magico, Rockport to just name a few . many others use cheap XOVER NET WORKS , WHICH I HAVE REBUILT especially the first names mentioned the XOVER is the heart or the brain of the loudspeaker. Look at all the details .before you try and or buy. |
Pure Audio Project Quintet gets you there, under budget too. Quintet15 - PureAudioProject |
Given you stated that the room will remain untreated, it may already been brought up...but I would include a serious room correction capability with any proposed speaker setup. ARC (Anthem) and Dirac are popular and somewhat user friendly options....I've used and have been pleased with Anthem but also treated my dedicated room. Speaker wise, a nice pair of any of the larger Martin Logan offerings will put you in the middle of the concert. Enjoy your search. |
