Need speaker recommendation. Thanky you
« on: 9 Dec 2022, 01:54 am »
My listening volume is usually 60-80 db. Room is 20X15 with carpet floors. Walls have paintings on them, nothing else treated in room.

Currently, I have KLH Model 5. and while they are great... The tweeters is a little "spicy"? Not sure. Tried several amps, preamps, dacs etc. Its just a signature of the speakers.

I listen to allot of SADE, Jazz, Techno, Dance, Electronic Music. Allot of ambient and deep bass music. I want to feel the energy of the music without getting listening fatigue sometimes a horn speaker will give me.

Here are 4 on my radar.

We can certainly take you way past those models with our DIY kits, but first a little more about your room.

Are you limited to how far you can pull the speakers out into the room?

Also, the size of your room with limited to no treatment could cause some bass loading or bass boom with speakers that extend down low.

Would you also consider separate subs to give you the flexibility of controlling the low end extension and gain in your room?
