with your preference of music and wanting to play loud, definitely look into the Revel F208. I have similar taste in music and listening volume. I have Revel F32s with MF6i, Ayre QB9 DAC DSD and VPI MK III table with updates. For me best speakers for the music style and listening volume you like.
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
Looking to upgrade from my current Rogers LS3/5a + AB1 REL 328 setup . While I love the smooth mids of these speakers (especially on voices/acoustic instruments), I tend to play harder music more frequently (alt/rock/punk/etc) which these do not excel at. I like to play music loud and have a real world living room my system is in (cathedral ceiling, open on one side, many windows. couch between my speakers) so setup is a challenge. I hate harsh sounding speakers.
My current playback system consists of a Oppo-BDP105 (or primarily Roon/JRiver via Ethernet) into a PS Audio DirectStream Jr DAC > Conrad Johnson Premier 14 Tube Pre > Conrad Johnson MF2500a Amp. All run by a PS Audio P5 with a combination of Nordost/Shunyata cabling.
Looking to spend around $4,000-$7,000 but could be flexible. Used or new is fine.
Currently considering:
PSB Imagine T3
Vandersteen Trio CT
Spendor D7
Mangepan 3.7i (don't think this will work with high SPL)
Endeavor Audio E-3
Revel F208
Golden Ear Triton 1
Dynaudio Excite X44
Any other speakers I should be considering based on my equipment, volume preference and music? Anything I should eliminate?
Looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions & thank you in advance

"In my respectful opinion, the Tekton Pendragons and Double Impacts absolutely trounce anything in what most serious music listeners would consider a very modest price bracket." +1 Don’t spend a ton of money on speakers until you get to hear Tekton. I have the Lores are they’re incredible. They’re very similar to Zu speakers (I’ve compared them side by side), only without the expense. They have a dynamic in-your-face live sound, which is great for loud alt/rock/punk. |
You have listed some pretty fair speakers, but IMHO you left out the very best speaker...Legacy Audio. The fit and finish are in a class by them self, and the darn things sound way better than they look. The Focus SE's are a speaker that is at home playing classical music and still come up and punch you in the "kisser" with hard rock. You have a wide range of finishes to pick from so they can fit right in with any decor to keep the little wife happy. The Legacy system is a system that I promise you, you will utterly have to force yourself to turn off at night so that you can go to bed. Check out the Legacy web site and look at what your choices might be. www.legacyaudio.com |
