time for a change....any suggestions?


consider - carpeted listening room with low ceilings, approx. 18' wide and 32' deep

four Woodside MA-50 mono amps
BAT VK31 tube pre
Linn LP12 w/Wilson Benesch hybrid carbon fibre MC
Revox Exception CD
Isotek mini sub line conditioner

tastes incl. mostly classic jazz, both stereo & mono

have previously enjoyed Magnepans, Quads, & currently Von Schweikert VR5s

please share your thoughts on:

Apogee Diva
Sonus Faber Cremora
Vandersteen 5
Quad ESL
Soundlab

and any other recommendations you may have

thanks so much....

Room is too big for Quads, but Soundlabs would love that room! The low ceilings are actually a benefit in this as the speakers will become closer to a line source. 6550c is correct in that they will cast a very large sound stage. The amps would need to be replaced though, but that is the case with most/all of the list.
