So I recently purchased a pair of MartinLogan Electromotion ESLs. Although they are fantastic in many respects, after living with them for a week, there are some issues I do have with them. Long story short, either my room isn't ideal for 'Stats or I'm just not an Electrostatic Man. (Yes, I have played around with placement a ton)
Now I'm back to the drawing board and on the search for a more "conventional" speaker pair. I'm looking to keep the cost under $2500 for the pair.
I'm using a Marantz SR6008 AVR, and my main source is a Marantz/ClearAudio TT-15S1 Turntable.
These speakers will also be used for home theater, but music is my absolute primary concern.
I have a pretty broad range of music taste, mostly centered around Rock (for instance, Supertramp is one of my most listened to bands at home). But I do love myself some ska, folk, "world" (think Pink Martini), small doses of pop, etc. (There are no genres, only music, blah blah blah)
At the moment, I'm really liking the looks of the Sonus Faber Venere 2.5 and the Focal Chorus 726V. I'll be testing out the 2.5s Monday while I'm in Boston.
What suggestions might you have for me to look into?
Thanks in advance!
