hey guys,
my mom is helping me start off my sudio system with a pair of speakers. she has agreed to let me have them when i move out of the house(in about 2 years), so i want to choose wisely.
they are going to be used with a 10 year old onkyo avr for now, which needs some repairs, which i will get done by next week.
I'm saving up money for a preowned audio analogue puccini, which ill try to get cos i reallly really like its sound.
ive heard the following speakers till now:
--monitor audio rx6(didnt like too much because of the harsh treble, though the clarity was to die for. also, it sounded much better with the audio analogue)
--monitor audio bx series floorstganders (dont remember the exact model, but they were very sweet sounding, and were more listenable than the bx6's, though they lacked their clarity)
--quad 11l2(i liked these too. more "comforting" than the MA's, though these lacked sound separation and clarity)
--a few wharfedale speakers(i found all of them rather underwhelming, i dont know why but i didnt like them)
i heard these through a marantz pearl series and an audio analogue puccini at bass n treble, dwarka. i didnt like the marantz as i found it too bright.
my audition list:
this is where i need your suggestions. i have put together a very basic list, and need your help to include more. if possible, please tell me where i can audition them in delhi too(i dont mind visiting peoples houses too, as long as they're fine with it)
-quad 22L2(im hoping these provide better separation, though im worried i may find the bass a little over powering, as i found it nearly adequate on the 11l2's)
-bowers and wilkins speakers(i cant find a shop in delhi which has these, so if anyone knows where i can listen to them, please tell me. I know they are priced at a premium in india, but i could probably source standmounters from abroad)
-bookshelf speakers by mordaunt short(please advise me on the models i should consider)
other considerations:
-my mom realizes that these are a long term investment, so shes kept an open budget on the condition that i defer the purchase of the electronic components. however, open means a max of 70-80k
-the speakers will be mainly used for music. I mostly listen to classic rock. my favorite artist these days is billy joel though, and my fav album jesus christ superstar.
-the speakers shouldnt be too fussy about placement and room size( i know this is a big requirement, but as im still a kid and plan to use these speakers in my moms living room, my college dorm room and eventuallly my own houses bedroom, its an essential one too)
-i dont like to much bass, and absolutely hate prolonged bass, so bass neednt be a consideration, as long as its precise(hence i dont necessarily need the biggest floorstanders)
-i like my highs to be refined and laid back( i dont know how to describe it better, sorry)
thank you
