What combo would you choose and why


Hey Agoners,

I have the following equipment:

Simaudio i3

Schiit Saga+

Icepower 125ASX amp

Audioengine B2 BT receiver

Odyssey Lorelei floorstanders w/kismet upgrades

Revel M20 engineering standard standmounters

Audio Nirvana alnico 8" full rangers running in free air, i.e.no cab and no baffle

Two Martin Logan Abyss subwoofers

All connections are OCC

I listen to Gardot, Krall, Peyroux and various acoustic guitarists

Room is 14x20 with carpets and lovesacs all over the place

Given all that, what would be your best combo of components to use?

I listen to an average 60db volume.

Thanks all

TM

I'd run the Sim I3 into the Loreleis (great, under-appreciated speakers!) and try the subs w/them too. 

I'd stack two lovesacs, because from the little I've seen about them, I'd working on the assumption that your ears would be pretty low relative to the tweeters sitting on one. If that's not the case, please ignore that suggestion. 

Are we still having fun? Or you planning to jump on my case too? Cheers,

Spencer

@tmalkki I've hear the Odyssey monos w/the Loreleis and they were great together, as you might expect. One of the best sounds at Cap Audio Fest a few years ago, vs. gear many times the price. You could get those and a variety of decent tube preamps for ~$2K total. Perhaps an older simpler Audio Research LS7 or a CJ PV series. Klaus would certainly have suggestions too. Cheers,
