@grislybutter fun topic, thanks for the link! And, yes, I’ve learned that i may as well show her a picture early in the process because it can save me from reading every review/comment/smoke signal accessible only to find that it’s too ugly to go in the great room.
Picking Speakers 20k-30k
Recently built a HiFi System with much help from this site, now I’m looking at upgrades. Strongly considering an all-Aavik system but looking at speaker options before I pull the trigger on anything, hence the following question: If you were buying new speakers in the 20-30k range (used or new), what’s on your shortlist? Bonus points if you have suggestions based on synergy with Aaviks electronics.
If it helps the conversation: 21’X 19’ treated listening room with cathedral ceiling. Listen to a wide variety of music.
thanks for your expertise!

@tablejockey since I’m sitting in the room I thought I’d actually measure because my prior comment was a guess from memory. Speakers are actually about 6 ft from the side walls and about 20” from rear. I had them further out previously but couldn’t perceive any improvement so ultimately placed them as far back as i could w/o issue (for aesthetics). @vthokie83 Thanks, I’ll have a look! |
@nitrobob Legacy were on my shortlist when I was first speaker shopping a year or two ago. I have a local dealer that carries them but the showroom was essentially 300 (literally) boxes of crappy Klipsch speakers- not a comment on Klipsch, they just had a crazy amount of their lowest end speakers- and they had one bookshelf Legacy that i could audition. Didn’t do a lot for me (the listening conditions were comically bad) and i sort of disregarded them as an option but I’ve always been curious about Legacy speakers. Plus they’re damn attractive so i know the wife wouldn’t shoot them down. Maybe i need to stop back at that dealer. |
