For fun I was playing with AI and shopping speakers. For my gear, taste and room these 3 keep coming up. I was just curious if anyone had experience with any or pick one, no one will hold you to it :) Also, coming from my 4367.

Each seem to have different strengths and I would definitely have to have a listen.

1. Focal, Sopra 3 (per AI, punchy, dynamic, lush midrange, good bass. Mentioned possible compression at high listen levels which gives me some concern but may need clarification as to what is "high". )

2. YG Summit, (high resolution, sharp imaging, bass is controlled without distortion which can sound thin if not used to it) If memory serves AI did make this #1 of the 3 with Sopra #2

3. Von Schweikert One, this was not a suggestion until I asked. ( large deep sound stage, bass is linear, may sound flat at low volume but remains linear and undistorted at high volume)

Discuss

* My gear is in my signature, I listen to a wide variety of music that includes Rock and higher energy music. 14 x 24 with open doorway in back wall.

I wouldn't trade your 4367s for any of those speakers.

Looks like Jade 30 might be a closer comparison. Even with tariffs pricing looks to be comparatively reasonable.

Would happily sell you a pair…but you really need a bigger room. Jade 20 is perfect. Another option is Jasper 25 from Pylon. Perfect for your room. $14,995/pair. Check out my unboxing videos on both. YouTube. Suncoast Audio.
