| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Had a terrible experience at Definitive Audio in Bellevue, WA today. Walked out before I even got to listen to the Sonus Fabers and the Wilson's. Will not be going back. I'll have to find another way to audition these speakers elsewhere. | |
| What’s a 10k to 15k speaker from smaller company that performs well? @duckworp Those speakers are so cleanly designed. Beautiful minimalist design to them. How do they compare against some other speakers out there? | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @grk I may drive down to Portland and bring my amp with me. A shop has the O/96 in stock and it would be neat to have a listen - even though the Super Nine's would fit in better with the room they would go into. | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Hi @facten no worries at all. Thanks for the response. I'll try to get up to Ferndale and have a listen. With several people recommending them, I'll have to give Lou a visit! Have you heard any of the other speakers mentioned in this thread and ho... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K I am going to try and listen to the Wilson Sabrina's and the Sonus Faber Olympica's again tomorrow. I'll see if I can bring my LM along with me. | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @twoleftears I am about an hour and a half away. I'll try to get out there. I wonder though, does Daedalus sound more like a Harbeth vs a Focal? If it is more Harbeth like, I'm not sure I will like it but I will want to give it a try anyway. | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @bradf Yeah, I was just on the phone with John. He mentioned that he only had the O/96. With all the suggestions on this speaker, I am interested to listen to them. No Magico A3's unfortunately due to backorder. | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @chrisg1000 Awesome to see another member local to me. I am based out in Issaquah (not too far away from Seattle). I purchased the Line Magnetic 805ia from Erik in Gig Harbor Audio. The shop is so nice and welcoming and they always have great musi... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook I wish I could post an emoticon of my jaw dropping right now. Salk SS8's and they haven't been listened to! I would be so excited to hear them if I had them in front of me :) I'm not sure what the Tobacco Sunburs... | |
| Efficient 2 way bookshelf/monitors under 2k How about eh Ascend Sierra 2's? I have the Towers and really have enjoyed them. | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K @riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook How do you compare the Salk SS8's to the Audio Note and the Devore's that you recommended? I have the Ascend's with the RAAL ribbons so I am somewhat accustomed to that sound. | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) Not all Devore's look like they have a large footprint. The Gibbon series seem to be compact and slim but have heard great things about the Super Nine's. | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K I would love to hear Tannoy's. Haven't heard them before but have to admit that they are not my aesthetic. @djfst agreed. I was just surprised given the gear was primarily McIntosh. Given I was also thinking I would go McIntosh integrated or hybri... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? @cakyol if only - the Int-250 is over $10k :) I'd rather spend that money (at least for now) on a new set of speakers. I would love to have a listen of the Pass Labs in the future though. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers @skyscraper love your analogy, sometimes when you know, you really do know. I'm thinking about the A3's too and am looking to make a decision on a pair. Just need to convince the wife ;) |
