Whittling down my choices to a final few pair...


Good evening Agon,

I know it's extremely difficult to recommend a speaker sight unseen; even more so to estimate the dynamics in a room with furnishings and other flotsam that could impact the sound.

My beloved bride and I are down to the last few pairs of speakers (I'm rolling the proverbial dice on all of these, going by Internet Opinions and such rather than the opportunity for actual listening, since we're in a unique situation)

Our room is 20x30x10' high.  The speakers would be positioned off the 20' wall and ideally toed-in or otherwise manipulated to sound optimal.

We're down to:

  • Legacy Aeris
  • Eggleston Savoy SE
  • Wilson Sasha DAW
  • Wilson Maxx

In no particular order.

Our previous speakers were franken-Jubilee's, which had a beautiful tendency to disappear and allow a moderate listening volume without interrupting conversations.

Given the above list, I'd appreciate your guidance.  Thank you so much in advance.

Really need to know what sound characteristics are most important to you to make any meaningful recommendation, otherwise you’ll just get what we like. 

Every ear has a different response so the speakers will need to be custom tuned to your ears. Whether that happpens by chance or intentionally, it is the only way to achieve satisfaction.

The Wilsons would suck that little Benchmark dry, you'd be better off keeping the ATI. 

Hello cwolff09!  The Legacy Aires is one of my favorite speakers! It would do very well for you. Happy Listening!

I agree with sunshdw. The benchmark does not have enough power for the wilson’s. It will choke on the low impedance of wilson.
