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

Probably a good list.  I won't go in order, but my impressions of these speakers (yes pretty familiar with all of them).

Hot high end.  Cant' listen to Rock that was not recorded properly as my ears burn.  Lot's of thump in the bass.  Pretty reveiling.

Sweet sounds with very little imagining or sound stage.  No true detail

A nice speaker that can be peaky, but it does more good than bad.  Hard to rock out on as it doesn't move too much air in the room.

Huge sound stage and nice imaging.  Very detailed, but still a bit veiled.  Dynamic, but needs to be played at loud levels to achieve this.  Moves decent air, but not the most tuneful.  Overall a very good speaker

Best of the bunch.  Most detailed, will be truthful to the recording, but the smoothest highs on the bunch by a country mile.  Tight tuneful bass.  Most dynamic with no smearing.  Will move enough air for all types of music.

Basically, the poster gave a set of speakers that all sound very different and behave very differently from each other in a room depending on boundaries...

Hoping Pete sends me the translation table. Only know one for sure:

Vandersteen Trio CT -  Best of the bunch


You really ought to give a listen to the Revel's. I have a friend who has a pair of larger models and they are great rock speakers, as well as for acoustic music. So I haven't heard the F208's but I do know what Revel's "house" sound is like. Vandy's would be my other choice.
