I am considering forking out up to $7,000 maximum on a used pair of floorstanders that need to be my last pair (joke! at least last me 5-10 yrs and stop upgrading). Room is 13*21*7 and the rest of the system is slightly on the warm side of neutral so my preference goes for neutral to revealing speakers with very tight bass and lower mid (room accoustic tendency to emphasize the 100-500 Hz). On my short list are: - Verity Audio Parsifal Encore - Avalon Ascendant Gen II(new tweeter with more bite than gen I)or Opus Ceramic - JM Lab Diva Utopia Be
I would love full range but not at the expense of bass quality so a 28-30Hz min can do if of high quality.
Yup. Spend $1500 on a pair of Eminent Technology 8s and if you don't already have a high-power amp you love, spend the rest on a pair of Antique Sound Lab Hurricanes to drive them in triode. .
