I personally can't stand ear-piercing treble, so my favorite pair of headphones are the Sennheiser HD650. They are opposite of V-shaped (so low bass, high mids, low treble). I want something similar with speakers. Basically, I want to listen at high volumes without destroying my hearing or getting ear pain. Right now I have the floor standing Klipsch RF-8000F and I am not happy. No matter how high I turn the volume, they don't sound loud enough. I guess it's the lack of mids. I keep raising the volume until my ears hurt. Fatiguing. Some speakers I am thinking about:
- Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 (some have said they'd suit what I'm looking for, but I've heard some people describe them as "bright", so perhaps they won't suit me)
- Q Acoustics 3030i (similar to the 12.2 but less bright?)
- Polk R200
I intend to get a sub with these. My amp is a Cambridge Audio AXR-100. Any others I should look into? My budget is maximum $750.
