Process for speaker selection

Process for speaker selection

Hi all,

my current system consists of

- WiiM Ultra with Tidal

- Holo Cyan 2

- McIntosh MA352

- Klipsch Heresy III

- REL Classic 98

My system produces a very enjoyable sound and could be end game. Yet I am considering a major upgrade of speakers for a round birthday in 1-2 years.

Following Reddit and some AI discussions, the list of speakers to be considered it way too long.

There will also be a move to another house in the next year or so, so the room is a bit of a question mark.

There is no way that I will be able to listen to the 20 speakers on my „shortlist“ in a somewhat comparable setting or even at home with my chain.

So how would you set up a structured process to narrow down the list?

How many of the 20 to listen to before making the final call? Some of them may be impossible to get hold of.

I had Harbeth SHL5, current B&W 802 and Monitor Audio Platinum already ruled out with demos.

I am not looking for purchase advice.

many thanks and kind regards

hi all,

just a thought. why would Wharfedale not do an Uber Linton given their success?

Basically take a Super, replace the stands with a full tower design at same format and add a second woofer?

That would only make sense.

kind regards
