standmounted speaker that is better than Elac B5. I like the B5 better than the B6. It is impossible for me to audition speakers due to various reasons.
I have been reading reviews of many speakers but I find it is not quite possible to make a judgement of the quality of sound. i do not find the measurements too useful either. JA could write about the sound instead of all those curves for budget speakers.
I have limited the budget to $400. There are Polk, Definite Tech, Wharfedale, PSB, Boston, Monitor Audio, Klipsch et al. I feel Dali Zensor 1 may be better than the others For me the lower point of 40Hz or 50 Hz is irrevelent. Female voice should be very good. In general sound should not be recessed and polite. Rock music should sound clear. And most of all the sound should not be bright.
The room is 13x11x9. Will not play loud.
If possible I would like the speaker to be not made by slave labor.
I know there is Elac UB5 but dont want to spend $500.
I would like suggestions from you and thanks.
Best Wishes
Bill
