Hi all. Joined because I'm considering options for speaker upgrades, possibly some Salks, new or used. So many choices though! I've done most of my critical listening with Grado and Sennheister headphones, and my speakers are old... a pair of Castle Richmonds with a sub, and some old Wharfedales. I'd love something that amazes me like my Grado RS-1 headphones do.
Budget is very flexible, but I need something that isn't too deep or too heavy (need to move them occasionally, so not more than 100 lbs?), and probably front ported as they most go somewhat close to a wall. They need to work for home theater. I previously listened to a pair of B&W 804 diamonds in the room - amazing in many ways but they sounded very odd with male vocals / dialog - boxy, or nasal-ish, or something I don't think I'd ever get used to.
Lately, newer models like the Song3s, Soundscape 7F, or Exotica monitors only add to the myriad of options... yikes! Any recommendations for something with very true vocal reproduction?
