Hello all,
Above all, I'm not familiar with Internet forums, so please inform me if there is anything inappropriate.
And, thank you for your help and advice.
Long-story short, I'm now considering having a sound system again.
More than 10 years ago, after spending years in a rabbit hole of hifi shopping, somehow I lost all interest, so out of trend now.
I want to have things as simple as possible this time. Here's what I am looking for.
I'm in SoCal and far from rich, so a listening space is not that big.
- 10' x 15' space or 15' x 15' space available
- Considering Klipschorn AK6/La Scala AL5/Cornwall IV/RF-7 III
- As a modern set-up the closest thing that I know personally is B&W 803 D3.
- More precisely I want something better than B&W 702 S2.
- Side story - B&W's recent Formation Duo was pleasant surprise - This makes me to believe in simplicity.
- Little bit warmer sound but crisp details, and depth description especially for piano parts are what I am looking for.
- All my music source would be AIFF / WAV files from CD.
- I will use iPhone/iPad/Mac to store and play songs. - I will stay in this way despite some drawbacks.
- This speaker is for strictly Classical Music (Piano) and Jazz.
- More precisely Artur Rubinstein, Martha Argerich, Richter, Glen Gould, Horowitz / Bill Evans and Dave Brubeck
- Again, focused on Piano sound (which is really tricky...)
- I would sincerely appreciate any advice, information or insight from your experience.
- Randomly, I heard that La Scala AL5 might not have enough bass (though I do not expect this weakness would apply to Classic Music / Jazz).
Still if I need to add subwoofer to compensate the sound, I'm more than willing to go for AK6.
- I want my set-up to be as simple as possible. (not going to go to the rabbit hole again)
- Simply 2speakers (without woofer, hopefully, if this doesn't make day-and night different) + Music Source
- Open for any opinion and advice.
- If someone has similar tastes in music, please educate me about your other set up. (amp etc, I want to know how other people enjoy their time)
- Lastly, if my listening space is too small, please also inform me. - I face this problem when I was dealing with McIntosh. (I need a bigger house to hear the sound I want. )
Again, I really appreciate your thoughts and time.
I want to choose the system that I spend my next 20 years. Thank you.
