Speaker Decisions: Considering 3 different speakers
Hi all,
I’m putting together a new system and I value the opinions of everyone who’s heard the speakers/components I’m considering. I’m building my system (and I’ve solicited some opinions, but have things more narrowed down now). Here’s what I have/buying and what I’m considering: Amp: McIntosh MA6500 (purchasing this week) Turntable: Clearaudio Concept (black) with satisfy tone arm and maestro v2 MM cartridge (own it) Cables/power: None yet. My room requires a run of 20ft for my speaker cables so that’s a consideration for both the cables and maybe the speakers? I am likely getting a loom from Ivan of WW whatever I decide. Probably the oasis SC since I need such a long run. Speakers: here is what I’m considering: - B&W 805 Signature (2004 model) - Vandersteen 2CE Sig II (new from AD) - Magnepan 1.7i (new from AD) I’ve heard them all, but not together and not A/B with the equipment I’m purchasing. The B&W and 1.7i are about the same price. The 2CE is about $600 more. My room is 16x30 and my listening couch is 17’ from the front wall. Speakers can be up to 10’ apart and 4’ from the side and front wall. Audio rack needs to be in the corner behind one of the speakers. I have a large fireplace/hearth in the middle so rack can’t be there, hence the 20ft speaker run. All opinions/ ideas welcome and a massive thanks in advance for your time. -Adam |
