Hello again, everyone! I ultimately demoed the following speakers in two different showrooms: first off, Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3, Sonus Faber Lumina V and Sonus Faber Sonetto III. I did not enjoy the sharpness of the B&W, and found the Lumina V a little...

My turn to apologize for the criminally late reply. I really appreciate you sharing your experience with me. It might interest you to know that I am planning to demo three floor-standers at the end of the month: the Elipson Prestige F24, the Focal Vestia n3 and the Dali Opticon 8 MK2 speakers. I...

Any particular reason why you would favor them? Just curious.

AI ears, I'm afraid not. The best I can do is travel the distance to their showroom and experience the sound as close to my own as possible. It's not ideal, but it's something. It would be the same amp and preamp, basically. And my own vinyls, of course.

Daytona600, thank you for sharing your view. You're the first person to recommend Klipsch floor-standing speakers. Aren't they excessively trebly?

Wow, you were even willing to go to Hungary to hear it yourself? That's awesome :) Well, if I do travel those 300 km, I will definitely take my amp and preamp with me, to hear the real sound I am going to get. Regarding my Vincent preamp, I find it to be very good. Surprisingly so, since I had...

Integralista, you're Slovak? Where do you normally buy your Hifi stuff in Slovakia? You're right, 300 km is not so much, so perhaps I should try to go there. The problem is that i have lots of duties and it isn't going to be easy. (You say "Dvakrát meraj a raz strihaj." ;) )

AI ears, I would need to travel about 300 kilometers to audition them, and I have some doubts about being able to manage that. That's actually the main reason I have opened this thread.

Hello AI Ears, thank you for responding. As mentioned above in my second comment, a guy in a specialized shop suggested these two specific speakers, along with a couple of others I have decided were not what I was looking for (either visually or sound-wise); which...

Hello Integralista, and thank you so much for taking the time to respond in detail. :) Regarding my Marantz PM-700N amp, it's been known to work well with the Dali Oberon 5 speakers, and a guy that I know and who works in a specialized shop actually recommended the Dali Opticons 6...

Hello everyone, I have just signed up here and am looking for advice. I am currently deciding between Dali Opticon 6 Mk2 and Wharfedale Evo 4.4 to listen to my extensive vinyl collection (mostly Metal). My set-up is Technics SL-1500C, Vincent Pho-701 and...
