So, my Stirling BBC LS3/6 Ltd Edt have a new, happy owner.
It was a difficult decision to sell them. Wonderful speakers in many/most aspects.
My music tastes are very varied, from classic, death metal, jazz to rock. It was only when things get really fast and gritty that the Stirling's were a little reticent and a modicum/tad 'slow' (soft?). Many probably wouldn't mind but it took the edge off for me. Everywhere else they excelled and in most ways were the best I've owned.
It gave me a good taste of the thin wall/wide baffle sound though and it's something I will probably pursue again in the near future. It also put to bed my desire to own a LS3/5. I want the dynamics and scale of a slightly larger speaker even though my listening levels are usually more on the modest size.
I can't afford the larger Harbeths or Graham Audio speakers but may consider something like a Graham Audio LS6 or smaller (but not tiny) Harbeth.
Any thoughts? Thanks
