It is the big speaker in the British Library Sound Archive, where they digitize their existing analogue collection of millions of titles before they are gone for forever. Their workhorse is the Harbeth M30.1, and they also use the little P3ESR.
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
I’ve heard Proacs, Personas 3 and 5, Ryans, Wilsons, Wilson Benesch, Monitor Audios, B and Ws and several others in the 10-$20,000 range. My favorite so far is the KEF Reference 3. I would consider the Reference 5 but, as I’ve posted before, there is no place to hear them within 400 miles. Still plan to hear the Focal 2 and 3. Unless I love the Focals, I'm inclined to either go with the KEF Reference 3 or wait a couple of months (or more) to check out the new Magico A3. My room is 24x18. I have Audio Research electronics and 20 plus year old Proac Response 3.5 speakers. It’s been a long process and I’m not sure if I’ll be relieved or disappointed when it ends. Hard to decide if the Magico’s are worth waiting for. Thoughts?

I have not found integrating subs and main speakers a hard thing to do. Just remember the REL advice: cross over low, and volume up. What is not so easy is integrating them into the room. Here a combination of multiple subs and dsp room eq such as the Antimode 8033 works well. See Floyd Toole on the subject: https://www.audioholics.com/room-acoustics/history-of-multi-sub-sfm |
