It depends abpout the poweramplification you use. A few of the speakers you mention are what we call 2 dimensional brands. For the money you want to spent you easilly can get a speaker what is 3d holographic. Only peolple with not enough knowledge could choose for 2 dimensional sound. I give you one example: I did a trest between the 805D and the Monitor Audio Pl-100. The last one is superior in depth and 3d imaging. I would not want the B&W even for free. I played 8 years Nautilus 802 and 800 Signature. I know exactly were I am talking about.
Top monitors 3K - 6K range
Hello all,
I am looking into some flagship monitors and I'd like some help/recommendations. I don't have a single sound I like and my tastes in music are pretty diverse too. Currently I have a few nice speakers including Harbeth SHL-5, B&W 805N, Magnepan 1.6 and PSB Imagine B. These speakers are all pretty different and I do like them all. I have owned Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M which somehow did not do it for me, amazing imaging but a little thick. Also I have had the Merlin TSM MMI which was great but my amplification is SS which seems to cause some restrictions.
My room is 12x16, speakers on the short wall. I do tend to like a slightly warm sounds but I also love dynamics, pinpoint imaging and sexy looking cabinets.
I am currently looking into:
B&W 805D
Totem Mani 2 Signature
Dynaudio C1
Focal Micro Be
Usher BE-718
Volent VL-2
Evolution MMMicroOne
Any recommendations? Am I missing anything?
