Speakers in the 60K range?

- Start date
Agreed buddy, but would be sleepless if I had 50L in bank and was contemplating on buying the Avalons, with 50K in bank I spend sleepless night's thinking when it will become 50L...
You call it a hobby. I call it a disease!
I assume you meant the 684 not 864. The 683 is the machine most well considered in that line. The 684 does not dance as well. The 683 does but it's well over priced and at that price (~1.5L) we have the Studio 100 (Paradigm), Focal's 836V and some others (I can't remember all the models).
The RX8 at about 1L goes up agaainst the KEF Q900 and Focal Chorus 816V.

For 60K you could step down to the RX6 and add a subwoofer later.
Corrected the post... it was the B&W 684.
I could only audition the KEF Q100 (good) as it was the only one available at ProFX and one other KEF at Rs. 1.6 lacs (which did not sound like anything worth that much).
Focal... only the Chorus 807 V (60K) was available which was very bright (possibly the Denon amp to blame).
I have left my number with the guys at ProFX but have not heard back. I plan on visiting Bengaluru next month so hopefully can have an audition there.
MA RX6 + sub sounds good but definitely the MA RX8 midrange was better in terms of detail and soundstage.
Also, at 1L, there are other options too.
Would appreciate some pointers on where to look and what to look for.

So whats your thoughts on the c607's midrange against an MA rs/rx series midrange.
Jamo is strong there (midrange). Good detail and soundstage too and I personally like the Jamo sound signature too. But the 607 lacks a bit in the bass... making it more comparable to the MA RS6/RX6.
The MA RX8 though is a different beast and it definitely pulls ahead of the line (from everything I've heard till now). It is also a more "complete" speaker in that its got good highs, excellent midrange in terms of detail and soundstage and also very good bass when tested with bass heavy tracks like Metallica - Enter Sandman.
If its only between the Jamo C607 and MA RS6/RX6... well it should be personal preference but I'd probably go with Jamo. But I sure would love a side by side audition between them.

Comparing C607 with RX8 is like comparing apples and oranges. 
hyeah:
Jamo's highest end D590 costs same as RX8. Though I never had a good enough demo of them, I dont think even they will compare.
While we can visualize the difference between BX6 to RX6 to RS8 to RX8 in the price range (subject to having a treated room), the difference between speakers from jamo concert series is in a much lesser scale. IMO.

Decide soon.
I might help you in the 'sell' part if it is like a week or so.
Apparently they have no RS6 left.
Ultimate hospitality.
Hey Musicbee. Be careful not to enter the 'loop'.
You started with KEF Q300!! Now standing at a 1L speaker.
Also note, not all 1L speakers are NOT 91db like the MAs. Some will require 125-150w power to drive and amps themself will cost a ton.

And I might even be happy with them (KEF Q300) if I can only audition them but I don't want to buy blind and also I'd rather go with what's available locally here.

BLASTO, with my job taking me places and rooms of all shapes and sizes I settled about three years ago for the RS6 over the RS8. After auditioning the various MA speakers I think I can delay the upgrade till I settled down finally, which is not like this weekend...
But when I settle down in 2 years time in Mumbai I will consider a set of (bookshelf??) speakers in the 1.5-2L as the final upgrade....and then :yahoo:

Hello Navin,
That is a very long time. Perhaps you could share a few experiences of your musical journey, maybe on a new thread.
Regards.

LOL Microflex I got my first system in 1972. My dad was into good audio too so he saw nothing wrong in buying me decent equipment and a few years after that I got into DIYing my own amplifiers and speakers. Electronics Today and Elektor were bought at the local kabadi wala and parts were sought on lamington road.
I shared a bit with Gjo George (on his center channel build thread) over on the DIY section a few weeks ago.

Yes, Indeed the c607 by default has VERY weak lows. My e875's also suffered from weak lows so it's no surprise it's descendant the c607 suffers the same.
HOWEVER I've recently made a discovery that reignited my love for the e875's! I must tell you about it.
I sold my subwoofer last month and as expected the e875's bass was really lacking. So I had a look at the spec sheets of the towers and noticed something, being an bass reflex type of enclosure, normally 3 way speakers have just 1 low range. However the c607/e875 has not one but TWO low ranges. The spec sheets of the c607/e875 says lowest 32hz. 32 is very close to tactile subwoofer frequencies. They would not have quoted that for no reason.
So I asked myself this, it has power, it has the internal, components for it, but what if the lowrange drivers aren't getting enough signal to kick in. What if it needs exactly double the low range signal strength to compensate for the two woofers that are devouring a signal meant for one.
Since there is a crossover dedicated to low ranges, WHAT IF, I used my soundcards driver to double the exact low range frequencies crossover feeds to the lowrange woofers.
I went into my Asus xonar d2x control interface, increased the 30hz bar by 100% and the 60hz bar by 50% and BAM! The 2 lowrange woofers kicked in and started emitting subwoofer like tactile bass but unlike a subwoofer it was tight, VERY tight. Totally controlled. I think it's purely because of the size of the drivers why it's that tight and controlled. I loved it! No muddiness at all and the midrange was totally unaffected thanks to the crossover.
The e875 / c607's were reborn \o/

uhh....I don't know who told you the d590 was their highest model....
It was not their high end even in the 1990's, the d870/concert 11 was.
The concert 11 can pretty much put to shame, chew it to bits and spit
out everything below 1.7lakhs even today. Including the entire new generation
of jamos or monitor audio or dali's.

Currently they have only D590 as the highest end cost wise both in display and spec sheet.

What a ripoff selling old stock like that, the d590 aka jamo 7.7 has been discontinued for almost a decade.
I saw an r907 and r909 in delhi last year, they're behemoths. If I remember right the r907 was quoted for around 1.5 lakhs. Worth a check for people who're going that high to spend.
Here's a pic of their two highest 2012 models side by side
