Moving from panel speaker to box, prepare to have your soundstage shrunken in width and depth, you image specificity to suffer, your transparency to grow veils, and male (and some female) vocalists to sound chesty and boxy. I estimate 2 weeks before you start regretting your decision to move on.
Upgrade from Martin Logan Sequel II's to ????????
10 years ago my re-paneled & new Capped crossover Martin Logan Sequel II’s speakers were the best part of my system. Now 10 years later after some upgrades I think they are the weakest link. I am looking for suggestions on a different speaker under 5K or preferably under 3k if I can swing it.
Current equipment list: McIntosh C49 Preamp, VPI Classic Table with a AT OC9XSL Cart, Mark Levinson No 23 Amp. Currently using the C49’s built in DAC and Phono Preamp. Streaming Qobuz via USB through a MacMini 2018 using BitPerfect to bypass any alteration to the bits (I hope).
Room is 13 feet wide x 16 feet long x 8 foot ceilings. Not sure what else to list. Suggestions?
