Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

To Floorstand or not???

That's the thing....

Is the sound that your missing contingent on the added size and cabinet resonances inherent in floor-standers?

I would take a pair home from your local dealer and see how they stack up to the DeCapos. The DeCapos are a very nice speaker, - they don't have the raw detail that some other bookshelves have, - but are a nice speaker...

What is your room like? Do you have enough room for a floor-stander, - or, - do you need a good floorstander that does well in the near-field....???

Some good floorstanders that I've heard recently are the Silverline Sonatina II and the Triangle Lyrr. But, - you also might like some of the high value Jeff Joseph speakers. (To me, - my favorite is the Triangle, - and if I had your associated equipment, - I would WANT those Lyrrs). However, - if you are easily annoyed by sibilance in the upper treble area, - the Josephs would be a better bet)....

Compared to what you have available locally, - these speakers represent a much higher value, - IMO....

Cheers,
