A lot of good ideas. If you like to travel visiting an audio show like the Florida Audio Expo in Tampa next month would be an opportunity to hear a variety of options.
Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K
Greetings
i’m a long time 2 channel system guy that rekindled his interest in music and Is looking to upgrade speakers. I just currently upgraded from a small tube amp to a 150 W Krell amp and have really enjoyed the improved response from my 7 year old KEF LS50’s. My favorite Brands of speakers over the years have been Maggie’s and B&W. I have also downsized homes and size of speaker is an issue. Looking for the best sounding speaker for jazz and lite rock. Attractive cabinets are important to me so I don’t like the looks of golden ear speakers.. 25 years ago I loved Vandersteen speakers but they were just not attractive.
As I begin my search what would yoou suggest. I have started looking at Monitor Audio and Salk but have not heard any. My budget is $4K.
i appreciate your feedback.

For the OP I think its a matter of deciding do you want a bookshelf 2-way sound or do you want to approach full range (and how the listening room will accept the acoustics of either). Even from Monitor Audio or B&W, it changes the product line choice considerably. For a small space, I would try to find 805 D3's, then positioned properly and call it a day. |
