Re: Chris's Current System
I (think) I know what I want my next speakers to offer that I do not hear now, but speakers are hard for me - mating well with the Luxman, working in my room and to my ears... One of my first thoughts was the Magico A3, but I am not sure that's as great of a fit as I want to find. I asked you in one of your videos and you made a good suggestion: the Fyne F702. I am also interested in Devore's Super 9's. I may have the opportunity to hear some ProAc DT8's in my room.
Subwoofwers may be a good idea to try too...
The 595 is new. I've had it (#275) for a month so I need some time to recover. It will take me a bit of time and sniffing around!dCS Bartok > Luxman 595ase > Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT

Re: Chris's Current System
I love what i see, a great combination of components and a lovely room.
Why are you looking to replace your speakers, what is missing for you?

Re: Chris's Current System
I feel range limited. I want to fill in the foundation below 40Hz.

Re: Chris's Current System
Looking at your luxmans spec, I honestly don't think Magico A3 is good match, Magico needs current (the more the better), there for I would look elsewhere for more efficiency speakers
