Hi, I'm looking to replace my 15yrs old JBL Northridge E60 speakers with something modern. After couple of audiences I made a short list and need some help and to decide as I can't compare models neither at home nor at same shop.
Usual tracks this year are Metallica, Apocalyptica, 2Cellos, Queen, Alice Cooper etc. so I appreciate good resolution in lower mid and whatever necessary to play distorted guitars and cellos well.
My listening area is around 10x15ft and I doubt if Dali Opticon 8 are too big for me and also I cat to put them at most 1ft from the wall. That speakers sounds well for me in sound-treated demo room in the shop. I've measured sound pressure with a phone and all I need is from 67 to 75 dBa SPL.
What could go wrong if I will put such a large speakers in the small room?
In other hand, Q750 and Opticon 6 are even a bit smaller them my current JBL E60 so I don't expect nothing bad in my room but it is really hard to choose among them.
I'm really thinking to flip a coin and appreciate any thoughts and ideas here.
Thank you.
- Dali Opticon 6
- Kef Q750
- Dali Opticon 8, pricey one
