I have a pair of meridian dsp8000se and a pair of persona 7f, I've also owned several other well regarded speakers that I sold because I couldn't find a good match between components.The GE and and new paradigm founder with active woofers are pass... | |
| New Speakers $10K -$20K I was going to recommend the white pair of Meridian dsp8000se speakers until you specified WAF. I have a pair of persona 7f and as much as the amaze meI could never recommend them for a lively room, Fire your dealer.I didn’t see the components you... | |
| Active Speaker Choice There’s some passive speakers that sound fast and powerful with exciting dynamics JBL, klipsch, any passive speakers that are +90 dB eff should do, now you just need to find the pair that work for you. | |
| Calling for recommendations: Speakers for a very lively room Get a used pair of Vienna Acoustics beethovens | |

| Revel Salon 2 vs Vandersteen 5a Carbon The salon2 needed more power than my 250/425wpc amp could provide and I let them go. The Vandy's I've heard had huge mids with a kinda thick bass and a soundstage that made me wonder if they were wired in phase. | |
| Active Speaker Choice I think you're on the right track with actives, you just have to go out and listen to a few to decide what you like. | |
| Revel Salon 2 vs Vandersteen 5a Carbon How did you come to the 2 finalists? I'm sure everybody would have another recommendation for you. | |
| Focal Kanta NO.3 Speakers Spending More Doesn't Matter ! If you like subs I guess it would open the door to a lot more speakers than otherwise, personally Love my 2 channel sans subs. | |
