Bill125812 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Item: Stand mount Speakers Price Range: up to 5K Item Condition: New or Used Extra Info: I’ve always had floor standing speakers ( well almost. I’ve had ML1’s and LS50’s ) neither did it for me But I’m curious. So let’s see what’s out there. Before I look at new Please don't forget to report your post as FOUND when possible.

rantan Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 When you do look at new I highly recommend these: IMNSHO, these beat the LS 50 hands down for bottom end, and composure under demanding passages of music and are less clinical and easier to drive properly than the ML1. Beautiful looks are just the icing on the cake. https://a1futureshop.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&manufacturer_id=83&product_id=1393&page=2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As are ATC19 and a couple of others. But just wanted to see if there is something special out there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murray Hodges Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) @Bill125812 I have some Bryston Mini T (not to be confused with Mini A lower model) standmounts in Walnut veneer. These are large at 570mm 19kg ea and 3 way with 1" tweeter 5" Mid and 8" woofer. 86db 4 ohm so some power required to get the best out of them, flat frequency response designed and tested in anechoic chamber . I have demo'd and now keen to purchase actives so these will be listed for sale soon. Looking at $2500.00 RRP AUD $6700.00 Murray Edited February 23, 2020 by Muzza71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddyev Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I’ve been really happy with my 805 d3 since I got them a couple of years ago, and I’m completely off the merry-go-round. I loved them without subs - I was never a fan of subs - but recently added a couple of small SVSs which not only subtly reinforced those lower octaves but made unexpected improvements on top. After owning a series of speakers from Vienna Acoustic Mozart, Proac d18, B&w cdm7, and Maggie 1.7 I’ve become a convert to standmounts with subs and it’s very unlikely I will go to conventional floorstanders again. my little Proac 1s also sound fantastic with my small subs. a pair here 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
