Hi all
i am ready to build my next project. My preferences and goals:
- clear Warm sound rather than analytical
- Clear bass rather than lowest notes
- smooth trebble with low sibilance
- small to medium room size
- range of music mainly light rock, jazz and classical (orchestral mainly)
- Needs to work with 15W valve amp per channel
- other components are 'warm' Rega CD, Heybrook turntable
- not to big!
My choices:
1. AudioNote speaker 2 kit. Nice wide baffle, easy to construct, musical speaker with good reviews across a broad range of listeners, good mate with valve amps.
2. joe Rasmussens "elsinore project". Local (Australian) based support, big scale, relatively simple build, small footprint, easy amplifer load, good economy
3. Troels Gravesen 'poor mans stradavari". Wide baffle reasonable mate to valve amps, harder construction but high WAF, well reviewed, listening notes indicate a clear presentation without being too clinical.
SO which one would you choose and why? I am at the crossroads and could happily build all three.
Interested in your views. Thanks Adam
