Which speaker would you like to be reviewed? (community interest thread)

[Vini darko]

Something non-stratospheric in price would be welcome. Maybe one of monitor audio's new bronze series bookies or missions new hyper affodable LX speakers.

Keep in mind that I am limited in size. Currently, I'd say the max height would be 36-inches.

I am working to determine if I can expand that through other means. But most likely I would have to purchase the Z-axis extension to test anything larger than a typical bookshelf or smaller sized floorstanding speaker. The Z-axis extension appears to be about 1100 Euro (plus whatever shipping/customs charges there are).

Again, I am working to see if I can remedy this but for now, just keep this in mind.

That's going to rule out most floorstanders. The Vandersteen 2s are 16” x 39.75” x 10.25”, for example. Perhaps this could be crowd funded.

I want to add:
- Linkwitz LX521.4
- DXT-Wave (here)
- Seas THOR (here)
- Seas KingRO4Y Mk III (here)
- Music & Design NaO II RS (here)

Boringly predicable

KEF R7 .

The upcoming Sigberg Audio speakers , combined with the requisite sub (the protypes are in a discussion tread on this forum )

March Audio Sointuva

I don't have a particular candidate, but would be nice to see something from a company or at least a product range that does not have measurements available for other models(we can roughly know what to expect from Genelec or Neumann, not so much many other manufacturers).

 

[murraycamp]

Great suggestions here. I would add:

JBL 580/590 (may be too large)
Monitor Sliver/bronze (any)
Any Revel towers not already tested

 

[mtmpenn]

How about the philharmonic affordable accuracy plus (link)?

I would also be very interested in something by Chane (a series of new L series).

Dynaudio Core 7
Dynaudio Core 59

Agreed!

I am not sure why Genelec needs to be high on the list. Amir has already tested four so far.

Traid was a good suggestion. Tektonic as well.

Goldenear is one I would like to see. I have never heard a good demo and would like to see if the measurements match my impression.

 

[hardisj]

Traid was a good suggestion

Coincidentally, a fellow on AVSforum messaged me yesterday about testing some of his Triad speakers. So, that may work out.

 

[Amateur2020]

What about a DALI loudspeaker, oberon
3 ot 7?

 

[Evozero]

I have just bought some Wharfedale Diamond 230 floor standing speakers, based on the 220 review Amir did. Found to be a really good budget gem with the grills off.
I would love to know how my 230's fair against the might of the NFS!
Loving the reviews Erin and your Youtube channel is really shaping up, Cheers.

Dynaudio Confidence 20 because no one seems to have measured this flagship monitor yet.

As far as how to get one...hmm there's a used on on Audiogon if someone has the cash

I'm more interested in the DynAudio Contour i series. The Confidence being the flagship is extremely expensive. Where as the Dynaudio Contour i is in the same ball park as the heavily ASR recommended Revel Performa Be. It would be interesting to more people (including me) to know if is a viable alternative or not.

The closest thing around is some stereophile measurements of the previous Contour 20 here

[SlowCar]

Definitely Adam Audio A7x
Also as somebody earlier mentioned Kef R7 would be nice.
And Revel F36

 

[RolandRa]

Another one:
DALI RUBICON 8

 

[Enchy]

Chane A2.4
Power Sound Audio MT-110

I thought they sold the forum years ago.

Some center channel speakers -- KEF perhaps? Nobody is doing much with those and it would be valuable.
