Another option, and again, it's not for me, is Dali. See if that's the type of tonal balance you are looking for. They elevate the mid-treble significantly which makes them better listeners at low volume.
Warm but holographic & forward vocals.
Is there such a speaker? I’m sure there is but I haven’t heard one myself as I haven’t listened to a variety of speakers in some time.
Looking to move on from my Tekton DI’s (incredible speaker) and move to something a bit more lush, warm in midrange but then with a forward (not bright) holographic type vocals.
Bookshelf/tower, doesn’t matter but want something smaller than the Tekton, which is pretty much everything lol.
under $5k used, lower is better.

IMO a drive to Sacramento to listen to the 2C and the Sub would be worthwhile. They want $1200, for that second hand set. Current RRP for the 2Ce is $5650 for the speakers, and that sub was at least 2k back in the day. You could literally sell the Textons for $1600 and use the $400 fuel and a meal… and… still keep the 5k in the bank. You might not like them, but Sacramento is as close as you can find for listen. They usually move quickly, and a listen only costs some fuel. At some point you probably want to listen anyhow. |

I would look at a ribbon/AMT/planar that is on the warmer side. Raidho, Audiovector, Magnepan, MBL would be interesting options. There is definitely an Audiovector dealer in San Francisco. They deliver an immersive experience that surrounds you. None of these are particularly bright though in the case of MBL, a little room treatment might be required. A middle ground would be to listen to something like Wilson Benesch or Vivid which will not sound recessed and definitely be a bit more forward. Nothing about WB is bright. Vivid can drift that way with the wrong amplification. I know there is a Vivid dealer in San Fran and was told there is a new WB dealer in NorCal but not sure where. Full disclosure, I am a Raidho, Vivid, and Wilson Benesh dealer. I have no affiliation with the other brands other that I have heard them and think they are great products. Good luck |
