These fit the bill judging by the measurements and review Heco 1000 review by AH.
Long or tiny, both can be interesting.I got it the first time that's why I shown even tiny ones that can do it. Yours whose more like Build Me a Woman.
The msrp for r5 and r7 are 2600€ and 3200€ respectively, and I don't think there have been a deep discount for them to be in 1500€ range.Could a person in Europe get KEF r5 or r7 for under 1500€? Maybe q950 or q750?
In Germany the Direkt is selling new for 1500 or a little less a pair even on Ebay,better deals can be negotiableWay way over the budget though
The Direkt are 1500 or below a pair in Germany on eBay.I'm not too fussed about bass, to be entirely honest... it's just the Diamond 12.0 are a bit lacking... I thought 40 Hz -6dB wouldn't be too hard, or maybe I misunderstood the specifications somewhat. I have my bass shelved down to the lowest octaves because I find it overwhelming when "flat" at under 30Hz.
ceiling mount is definitely not an option, unfortunately! I'm a bit too picky about the appearance of my living room and it would stick out a lot.
... wow, 1500 for those would be quite something! I do love my Focal headphones, the Clear... but these are almost 4500 euro here in Sweden. it would have to be a Very good deal, if shipping is to be included. looks really good though, just unsure what this means:
looks like it would be a *LOT* of mid-bass there. am I mis-reading it or is the measurement not very accurate?
also, would Aria 936 be a lot worse? I see it has 3 drivers instead of 2 big ones... or 926 as you said!
I'll have to research these more - they look so much more affordable over in Focal-land! even if price is per speaker.
I feel like I'm missing something with these photos... going from tiny diamond 12.0 to towers?
I did but it sounded very bad, that's why I added a subwoofer - it's only a cheap 10" subwoofer though. and I have it dialled down so much it's just there to fill in some missing parts... not so much to rumble and shake stuff around, I don't really enjoy that part much.
thank you, I do hope to get tower speakers though, for maybe silly reasons but... it would feel better for me
these look gigantic and probably output a lot more bass than I would need... and well, as said below, price is a little out of budget!
very cool design though.
interesting, these are some I have never seen before. will try to read up on them and look for some measurements.
thank you!
We do have monoprice.eu - but two subwoofers with good bookshelf speakers would end up costing a lot more... even if better, it seems!
I noticed some put "iso" stands between for stability and whatnot, and even those are pricy - which I'm not sure are needed though...
I would definitely prefer towers but I'll give it a real consideration if I can make it work... adding another Monoprice sub is already €750 there, making the 2 subwoofers cost my entire budget alone.
Genelecs are really cool but - I wonder again if I'm misunderstanding the bass extension spec. at -6dB 40Hz I figured the "flat" point would be around 70Hz...
sorry if I am confusing everyone and asking for a lot when not really needing it.
Q750 are on sale for 1000 euro here right now though. I would love to see measurements of these as the coax driver is intriguing to me.
Thank you!
the R5 can be found for around 1500... the R7 best i found (new) was a little over 2k shippedCould a person in Europe get KEF r5 or r7 for under 1500€? Maybe q950 or q750?
while I do like them, I think they are a little too polite and withdrawn when it comes to detail levels - and was hoping to get something a little bit of an upgrade.Logical choice would be a pair of Wharfedale 12.3 or 12.4 since I’m assuming you like the sound of the 12.0
What height are your current stands?
hmm it seems my room might be more suited to the 926 according to that - but I'll have to read a bit more about them, they do look great though. cheers!Check out https://audiosciencereview.com/foru...fi-anonymous-to-not-buy-focal-aria-948.23810/. My 948 is the first hifi speaker I own after a very long time, and I don't really have a reference point to compare, so I am absolutely biased. But it is lovely to look at and sounds great.
these look really interesting - I'm wondering one thing though... my experience with this kind of tweeter is that they are very 'beamy' and don't disperse the sound a lot. do you would you happen to know if this is true for these? tempting to try them, but might be a pain to actually return them.Maybe Xtz 99.36 FLR 2021.
1210 a pair.
You can try them for 30 days.
Optional room analyzer for 140 euro.

q750 yes, 1000 euro on sale right now - but long delay in shipping...Could a person in Europe get KEF r5 or r7 for under 1500€? Maybe q950 or q750?
interesting - I see them for about 2000 here, used. they do seem huge though, not sure I can fit them unfortunately.The Direkt are 1500 or below a pair in Germany on eBay.
We rarely got freeshipping from EU anyway. Some small stuffs are, but their markup would be insane . For big and heavy things like tower speakers, no chanceImo an amt tweeter sounds great if a waveguide is used.
Maybe it's best to keep your eye open for a nice sale.
Just an example Elipson Prestige Facet 24F for 1320 euro.
Don't think they will ship it to Sweden for free though.

Hasn't the Direkt series been discontinued? I'd like to find a pair of the Dreiklangs if I can even if I have to buy them in Germany or elsewhere in the EU.In Germany the Direkt is selling new for 1500 or a little less a pair even on Ebay,better deals can be negotiable
Then he should at least listen to the Silver 500 7G!! Here they cost $3700.00, in Canada that is. I just can't get over the price difference!In germany Silver 500 7G start at 1600 a pair, 500 6g 1200 a pair.
Good speakers.
