Dear All,
I am looking for some advice/recommendations for some new floorstanders for my living room. My poor spouse, bless her, had to live with various iterations of large glossy black boxes in her favourite room for some time, and as we are soon moving into a new home, she has agreed to a new set of speakers, but under two conditions: no speaker stands (so floorstander it is) and they have to be white (the new living room is in an old farm house, so the walls are white-washed). She can't stand fancy, spikey stands as well.
This leaves me in a conundrum, as the majority of floorstanders are brown/black boxes, often with rather ugly veneer/plastic (just look at my SoundArtist SC8Bs). In the price-class that I can afford (£/$1000-2000) that leaves me with:
Fyne Audio F501
Monitor Audio Silver Range
Dali Oberon Range
Wharfedale Evo 4.4
Triangle BR series
B&W 700 series
Canton Vento series
My current pair are Q-Acoustics Concept 40 (which I am rather pleased with, but which have horrible stands and are piano glossy black -> eyesore.
The new living room will be ca 4x4m with typical low farmhouse ceiling.
Audiosciencereview community, step up to the challenge and suggest some great measuring, good looking, affordable. white floorstanders.
