I have a pair of ruark sabre’s (stand mount) which replaced a pair of ruark talisman’s (floorstanders). I gave up the talismans after quite a few years as they were really too big for the room, both visually and bass wise. Whilst the sabre’s are lovely things I miss the extra weight of the floorstanders, bigger drivers I suppose?
Is there a small/med standmount that sounds bigger or is that an unrealistic expectation? Small speakers have limitations and floorstanders are designed to do different things, I guess. Should I just use the sabres whilst appreciating them for all the good things they do whilst bearing in mind they are smaller boxes or go looking for something a bit weightier?
I listen mainly to jazz and some acoustic stuff almost always on vinyl. The room is approx 3.5x4m
I should also add that I’ve ended up with a nice simple system that I love, having gone up an down the hifi chain a bit. It’s now maximum pleasure / minimum guilt! You lot have always given sage advice so I appreciate any input, good or bad!
System is rega 3/exact, quad vena, ruark sabres, (rasberry pi for occasional digital duties)
