Some great products mentioned here, but speakers aren’t magic devices that work the same regardless of setup and room. I’d start with subs. That helps pressurize the room if setup properly. And that setup is very tricky. More elaborate subs may help with software or something. Yet then you can use all manner of products to fill in the rest, probably less money, because you are just trying not to screw up the recorded signal too much. Having been to the shows and spent much time in dealers, I find most setups lackluster. You focus on the unimportant parts, mainly volume. Well tuned setups sound great at 60-70 db peaks. And that keeps you listening longer and happier. It’s not PA at a club that has to compete with chatter.
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
Hello All: Many of us have limited access/ability to audition multiple speakers brands. That got me to thinking- If one had a budget of $20K max, a solid state amp rated at 125WPC, and listened to all varieties of music (primarily rock, pop, folk), what speaker(s) would you be most willing to recommend to that person and feel confident they would be happy with the purchase?
