Speaker recommendations :-)

Hi there good people 

In short, wanted to hear your ideas. I am into jazz and acoustic music and this is my equipment list, maybe it will help. Listening room is around 50m2 of area.  At this moment i dont have speakers, sold last one already. ( Wilson Sophia 3 ). 

Lamm M1.2Ref. monos,  

Lamm LL1.1. preamp ,

Lamm LP1 Phono. 

dCS Apex Vivaldi Dac + Cd+ Clock + Upsampler

Turntable: Chronos Pro

 

I am not looking for the “best speakers in the Universe”, just wanted to hear some ideas , maybe they will lead to new  interesting synergy of my system.

 

Thank you for your time :-)

Well, I have yet to own a pair but they're definitely on my Wishlist - JBL's Everest DD 67000 which sell brand new for $41,250.00 each.  I best start saving my duckette's, huh?  Either these or the next down JBL's pecking order, the JBL K2 S9900, which are also not cheap at $24,200.00 each?   The Everest I believe has a Dual 15" Woofer's, a 4" Midrange Compression Driver, and I believe a 1" High Frequency Compression Driver.  I believe the K2 S9900 has the same except just a single 15" Woofer!   In my mind, you can't go wrong with either!   Or both!

I have my Silverline La Folia II speakers listed on Audiogon right now.

I don't think there is a better tube amp speaker under $10K for sure.

Only selling because I am moving out of state.

I had the Harbeth SHL5’s and really liked them at low volume, good for jazz and acoustic music. I had the 4367’s and they were too big for my listening room. I now have the Magico A5’s with a B&W DB3D sub and could not be more pleased with the sound.

If you had a pair of Wilson, and looking at the rest of your gear, the speakers you are considering might be somewhere between 50k and 150k USD. Pretty big range, but if you consider brands like Magico, Von Schweikert, or Estelon, only a few models from each brand would fit into this category. M2 or M3 from Magicos for example, but their bass isn’t really full. I have been a Magico fan but I always wanted to hear more bass out of them. Recently I got to audition a pair of Von Schweikert at the store, and right there and then, I traded in my S5 mk2 and ordered Von Schweikert speakers. They come with optional booster amp for the bass and your tube amplifiers can drive the highs and mids more effectively while the booster amp drives the bass woofers. The sound was effortless full range dynamics and impressive details and imaging. The closest thing I’ve heard to the Iive music.

Heard most of everything suggested. Buy dynamikkis and end your search with speakers all together. Work really well with Lamm also
