freemanzhu Unregistered guest | I'm looking to spend $1000 to $2000 on a pair of floorstanding speakers. I listen almost exclusively to classical music, so I put a premium on neutrality and good imaging. Bass performance is important, but less so than the other two criteria. It looked like the PSB Stratus Silver i received very favorable reviews and offer what I'm looking for in speakers, but they are being discontinued. Anyone have other suggestions? |

Bronze Member Username: JonmoonPost Number: 74 Registered: 12-2003 | Let me make a couple of different suggestions: Look at Martin Logan (Mosaic or Scenario). Here are a couple of threads: www.martinloganowners.com/forum/messages/3551.html www.martinloganowners.com/forum/messages/3642.html And a review of the Scenarios: www.audiorevolution.com/equip/scenario/ Look at Phase Technology. Here is a thread: www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=386778476897fe1e9daed5b5b3bfabca&thread id=353531&highlight=phase+tech Look at Magnepan: www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=386778476897fe1e9daed5b5b3bfabca&thread id=365455&highlight=Magnepan There are lots of speakers with different sounds. I bought the Martin Logan Montage because of the price and it blew me away for the price point. Good luck. |
