If you can find a pair to audition I recently listened to the Vienna Acoustic Haydn Grand monitors. They were sitting next to a pair of $13,000 floor standers that I thought were actually playing when I entered the room... Very dynamic and room filling with a good touch of warmth. Retail can be below $2,000 I was told.
the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data?
I am curious how the experts choose speakers when upgrading? What are the priorities, what would make you stretch your budget?
Based on e.g....
- brand/company’s reputation
- price
- sensitivity
- crossover frequency
- compatibility with existing amp, etc.?
I don’t have buyer’s remorse for my last pair but I sure made some stupid choices until I got there, that I could have avoided if I had known about this forum sooner.
