I moved house last year and now have a bigger room - c.40m squared. I’m currently using the lovely Blumenhofer speakers bought from @chelseadave when he passed. The speakers work well (i use them with a sub) but I really want to get something a bit bigger to fill the room now. I have been looking at all sorts and have a few ideas but haven’t settled on anything especially. If anyone has any thoughts/ideas they’d be much appreciated.
My amp is a Vitus audio R101 mk2 so no lack of power but I would want speakers that are reasonably easy to drive and pass the WAF threshold. Budget isn’t really an issue if there’s something super-special, but let’s say 25K or under…
I crack up every time I see those pictures. I want to call pest control.
Aside from Avantgardes which are a great commercial option (though I’d be looking at newer ones), the MEH build that @SteadySteve has done looks very domestically viable and could really look the part with some suitable veneers.
I can heartily recommend Avantgarde Duo XD in WAF coloured horns . Volti’s above are very tempting too. Plenty of choice, a lot depends on how you like your bass and how oversized your wife will accept.
If you’re really desperate I can do you a great deal on a nice pair of jbls within your budget
There are the Everests that have been on ebay for a little while, although one of the photos does have a what appears to be a big REL in the background.
Or you could buy the Hornings with the rant letter to shut that bloke up for a while…
