Love the Acoustic Energy AE520 all carbon drivers, slim nice cabinets sound great especially with tubes and will save you money. Using Mastersound Box with blusound node2. Just my 2 cents.
Best skiinny floorstanders
After 10 years with a pair of Martin Logan Ethos speakers, I'm considering moving back to boxes, box speakers that is. I'd like to avoid big obtrusive box speakers and am considering some skinny ones in the $8-12k range like the:
Devore Fidelity Super Nines
Boenicke w11s

.... other suggestions
The room - is around 18 by 30, parts with a low ceiling, carpeted, and the wall behind the speakers is books. Serves as gym in the early am when my wife pulls out the rowing machine and turns the tunes up loud, play room for the grandkids in the afternoon and listening room for me in the evenings.
Currently running all tubes but I'm open to changing that up too.
Taste in music - eclectic.
Thanks in advance!

What a lot of great input! I love the way everyone brings their own personal passion to this thread, from detailed descriptions of favorite speakers to one person who took the time to research and provide links to listings of used speakers for sales that matched my criteria. One speaker no one mentioned that has piqued my interest for years is Decware's HR1. Doesn’t meet the skinny criteria but on the smaller side and is yes a bid odd looking with what looks like a hat on top. |
