Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice?
@mapman they look really good. Definitely not a wimpy stand mount. Great suggestion.

maybe hang onto both for awhile while you compare sonic presentations? Seems very educational and fun. @kennyc I could possibly do that. I’m not the type to hang onto speakers, but they’ve been good to me. They sounded great in my previous reside...

@kennyc yeah, I agree, but no way can I find and demo all these different brands and models, especially of course the internet only ones. Unfortunately, this has become a common way to buy speakers these days. And yes to the stand mount/floorstand...

Yeah, that’s a bit out of my range. I top off at about 7 maybe 8k. And I would rather be lower. Looking for that “punching above it’s price point” speaker.

@ddgtt wow those Kaya speakers are just gorgeous and unique! I’m a sucker for a pretty face. I didn’t research the price yet….I’m sure good looks come at a premium.

@digsmithd they look very nice, and the reviews look great as well… any opinions about the Revel 226be? They have a REALLY NICE sale on them at Music Direct.

@helomech those speakers really interest me. I’ve read nothing but glowing reviews for them, it’s almost a “too good to be true” situation. I’ve also read from the stand mount fans that the bookshelves are even better because they image unbelievab...

@brownred6 i agree, and I hear that a lot. But, my question remains, can they fill a large room?

@goose interesting guy, I’ll say that….

@bassdude thanks, those definitely are on my radar for candidates. They look perfect, and they should be able to handle my larger room.

@jacobsdad2000 its funny how I hear that a lot, as well as on this thread. Which is obviously why I asked that question in the first place. Do I just need a better speaker as a stand mount than my current one? I’m willing to spend a good deal more...

@erik_squires I wish Fritz made floor standers, but he’s obviously more enamored with the virtues of stand mounts.

@drmuso thats a good point. I think my room really sucks for acoustics, and it may be a large part of my problem. These speakers sounded a helluva lot better at my old place....at least their weaknesses weren’t so pronounced.

Does anyone have opinions about the smaller companies I mentioned, such as Fritz or Philharmonic? I’ve heard nothing but praise for both, but most of that praise was of the paid-for variety, so I’m curious about what they’re saying on the streets.

@secretguy don’t many proponents of stand mounts talk about superior imaging? That’s what I always heard the advantages were, along with cost, etc.
