Theoretical speaker question

(1/9) > >>

mca:
Say you had two pairs of speakers in your house. Each pair could be sold for about $2,500.00 netting you a total of $5,000.00.

Now say you wanted to spend that money on a used pair of speakers. What would you be looking at to audition?

miklorsmith:
So, the Adagios aren't working out for you, theoretically?

My upgrade philosophy includes a little padding, so if I have $5k to spend on speakers, I could stretch that to $6,500 if The Right Speakers were that much.

What do you want to use for amps?  How deep do you need the bass to go?  What are your hot buttons that make you swoon?

I'll get to thinkin' about that for ya.

mca:
It was just a what the hell thought. A used set of speakers in the 5-6k range would have sold new for 10-12k or more. I have never really listened to  anything in that range. Maybe they would be so good as to make listening to music exciting again.

bpape:
All good questions - coupled with the fact that there would be a TON of choices out there - new and used that would fall in that price range.

Having spoken to you over the phone, the anwers to the questions posed above are important.  Integration with a sub or not is a key thing to consider.  Active xover?  Monitors with sub?  Full range tower only?

I'll just say that given your room and the requirements/potential issues, a monitor/sub with active xover would be on my radar.

It's fun thinking about spending someone else's money  :lol:

If I were looking in the $5k range; and was using the 3205 amp; I would certainly try to audition a pair of these:

A little under your price and brand new with all the tricked out options...
