Currently surrounded by boxes. Most stuff packed and about to move out of my own house temporarily whilst works occur. I am hifi-less for the moment 😭. Reduced to a lowly Bluetooth player or some (admittedly very good) headphones.
Totally understandable. Once settled back in, after the work on your house, get a Pulse. It'll surprise you how good they are. It won't compete with your Suggy but it will stand alongside the A39 with a few extra surprises.
Hopefully the 40s and Q Acoustics. The latter Richer Sounds had no stocks of the Concept standmounts.
They’re two very good small speakers. I had somehow imagined you were after slim floorstanders, but as you’re after stand-mounters, see if you can hear the Sonus faber Lumina II @£999 and the ATC SCM7 @£950 (or the SCM11 @£1450). Both are at my local Audio T, as well as Harbeth, but each branch has different lines.
We no longer have a local Audio-T. There was one in Epsom.
Such a shame.
The nearest Audio-T is in Enfield, which is NW London. It's a pity. Didn't use them that often but did buy our Stands Unique rack from there in the early/mid 2000s.
Must be my nearest now too.
The best speaker I've heard in terms of imaging was the Totem Arros. They are stunning in that respect.
Yes, the ATC is pretty tolerant of close proximity being a sealed box, and the Lumina models too as it’s balanced to work near a wall. I think LS50s need more breathing space.
Shoosh.... heard them, loads others I haven't.I'll say this quietly... Harbeth P3ESRAdd a sub if necessary
Just read a review of the Lumina and they can't be placed near a window, due to the leather. Shame, they look like a quality speaker.
We're not so pushed for space where I'm looking at wall mounted speakers, just something a little less large. Those Rubicons I could accommodate but not so much the MA Golds. The depth on those is very similar to my TBs.
I found AN's I listened to on my listening quest quite Meh... Nothing particularly wrong with them but quite bland and forgettable imo. I do wonder if PP might be disappointed with the bass (or lack of) compared to his PMC's. In AN's favour though, the finishing on them is exquisite! They look beautiful.
TBH, those Rubicons really punched above their cabinet size. I would say pound for pound they are one of the best small standmounts.
I don't think there's is any need to apologise to other users, speakers are so personal, what's right for you and your system is exactly that, irrespective of what others may have employed.
When are you listening to the Argon 1's? That will bake your noodle.
