Around 2 years ago I went from new B&W 802 D2’s to used Wilson Sophia 2’s at half the cost and was much happier with the Wilson Audio purchase. No idea how they sound on McIntosh gear though. I was using BAT, Bryston Cubed and Chord at the time. Almost anything would be an improvement over 901’s so audition what you can in your budget. I sold my Marten Miles 5 for about $6,500 last year so if you could find that model or Django XL’s they are worth a listen. They provide beautiful detail and speed without being hard on the ears.
Worked Backwards and Would like to Hear Suggestions on Speakers
I did the opposite most folks on forum suggested. I already had Bose 901 Series VI speakers but built my system around them. My setup includes Mcintosh MC501's, C2500 Preamp, Thurman Conditioner, Cary 100 DAC, which I'm selling, Oppo 105D, and MusicHall 7.1 turntable. I use all Cardas Golden XLR Cables except for Bose Equalizer which I use Cardas Golder RCA's. I mostly stream using dedicated MacBook 13" retina..
The Bose sound really good but would like suggestions for better. My range? Not sure, I can spend up to 10K but would rather stay in the 3-6K range.
Thanks!
