Qln, Joseph Audio, Audiovector, Marten, or Canton...?
I am looking to upgrade my speakers. My amp is an NAD M10 with Dirac Live room correction, so bass response is adjustable to an extent.
For domestic tranquility they must be relatively compact with a wood finish. Floorstanders, not standmount. Budget of up to $15k-ish, but less is better.
My list consists of the following:
Any and all impressions of these speakers, particularly any comparisons between them, are very much welcome. Thank you!
@thr1961 , I know it would be a schlep, but a visit to Audioconnections in Verona, NJ would be time well spent. If you could line up some other dealers on the way, then it would be quite a nice trip that would help you decide. And, perhaps reach out to the Audiogon community to see if there are any Joseph Audio owners nearby that would let you listen to their systems. Bob |
@disc — I actually began my research by reading that thread and agree it is extremely helpful. @gdnrbob — Thanks for the reference - I may do a local New England roadtrip first but will definitely consider checking them out. I remain interested in the Joseph Acoustics, but it seems as though the local dealer isn’t interested in responding to my emails or calls. They must be doing pretty well to leave sales like that on the table, but I can’t say for sure and plan to try one more time before going elsewhere. |
