Speakers for new room
I am moving my sound system from a 25x20 foot room to a 19x13 foot room (actually looking forward to this since bigger room was so big everyone kept dumping their crap in there)
My present speakers need 2 to 3 feet from the back wall. That’s not really feasible in the new room.I've been looking at these 3 speakers.
Zu Audio DW6 the Superfly edition
Klipsch Heresy 4
Warfedale Super Linton
all it seems can be placed 10 to 12 inches from the back wall.
looking for any impressions Audioners have had with these speakers
My 2 channel system consists of:
Rogue RP1 preamp
Parasound 2125v2 power amp
Rega P6 Ania cart MCFono phono amp
Bluesound Vault 2
Topping D90SE DAC
AV123 Strata Mini front L&R speakers

@thegreenline My previous room was 13 x 19. I had a pair of Focal Sopra ll that sounded great. But then again, so did a pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mark ll and a huge pair of SoundLab electrostatics. Neither the Focals nor the Zens needed to be far off the wall. The Zen, being a Transmission Line design, sounded very good close to the wall. Brought both the Focal and Zens two years old and saved close to 50%. For what it's worth. Cheers. |
The Wharfedale I have heard extensively in a very pragmatic audiophile's room. He had them integrated well with his room and they sounded incredibly coherent. No glaring, no showroom sound (which may impress on first listen but become annoying later down the line)
Just effortless balance that lets the music shine. Big dispersion pattern means a lot of room involvement which lends itself to pretty expansive soundstage presentation
The Heresy IV I have demoed 4 times because I just wanted to understand why I wasn't hearing what people were. Overly brittle sounding, dispersion is lobby asf and there's not concise imaging locality (causing the images in the soundstage to move about in a non-cohesive way). The bass was also lacking especially in the kick drum fundamental. and the bass was a bit one note. Yes, they can play loud but playing loud terribly isn't what I consider good. As for the Zu, one of the worst speakers I have ever heard. Gets super directional the higher you go. Speakers have strengths and weaknesses but I could not discern any strength from the Zu other than it being sensitive to voltage so I guess if your amplification is some low power tube amps you should be good. @thegreenline |
