New 20.7’s

[tdotson41]

This is my second pair of 20.7’s in less then 2 years. I sold/ gave my first pair to my little brother. Reason being I wanted a different finish. I’ve had my new pair for a little over a month now and I honestly think the 20.7’s are the best bargain hi-end speaker on the market. My local dealer had me on the cusp of ordering a pair of Vandersteen Kēnto’s and I must say they are a great speaker. But to my ears a properly setup pair of 20.7’s beat them at half the price. Again I’m not saying anything bad about the Kēnto’s, I just feel for realism and natural sounding of instruments and voices, the 20.7’s won it for me. Now I have a treated room and have ordered new fuses and stands which I believe will further improve this great speaker. I’m driving them with the stereo version of the VTL Seigfried amplifier (S-400), VTL TL-7.5lll preamp, Linn Klimax DS and a Pro-Ject Carbon RPM 10 turntable. The realism is spectacular and the soundstage is wide and deep. Bad recordings are simply that bad recording. I find that this setup is a truth teller when it comes to that. No additives just straight music. If you don’t have the room or the coin for Magepan’s 30.7’s you won’t be disappointed with the 20.7’s. I’m truly in music heaven with all my favorite jazz musicians past and present. ‘Life is so much better with Music’
