Speakers for string Quartets

Thanks for all the perspective!!!!

I’m leaning towards the “British Invation”…

question…with a pretty large room, open to kitchen/dinning room, I’m hesitant to go for bookshelve/monitor size. 

I believe Quads would be great, but I don’t know if I could go to something with so little dynamics after loving my horns for all the dynamics!

Harbeths seem to be my go to to audition, but I’m sure you pay a lot for the name.
interested to see if I can find a way to Audition Spendor, Stirling, ATC (which I’m super interested in!) .

Any thoughts on the current KEF line up? Somehow I don’t think they’re very “British” anymore.

Out of left field I’ve become interested in Great Plains Audio Altec 604 coaxial 15” drivers. From what I’ve read it may have possibilities.

thaks again!

Thanks for the perspective, suggestions. I understand the argument that speakers reproduce sound, not just specific types or instruments.

currently have modified Klipsch Cornwalls,(mods make them similar to Cornwall 4)

they sound great with most music, but give stringed instruments a steely, metallic timbre. Looking for a second set for strings only. Room is pretty well treated, I use REW to take measurements.

As some said I’m looking at British, and Magnepan, investigating electrostatics.
I’m just trying to get some perspectives from other stringed music lovers. Orchestras do very in well, but solo violin/ chamber doesn’t get the tone.

thanks for all the help.
