I thought I loved my sb7000's. They've been on my main system for about 6mos now. Then I had these AR 310s that I first listened to on my Marantz 2235 and was unimpressed. One of em needed a refoam so I wanted to learn how to do it and after the refoam I tested my work out on my main system(luxman m02,co2) and they sounded really nice. Made my sb7000's sound a little lame. Obviously the ARs had less low end but overall I enjoyed them. Then out of curiosity I hooked up a set of RW Oliver's and with an 8" woofer they're not gonna shake the house but the imaging blew me away. If they were in a smaller room(this room is quite large with 20ft vaulted celing) I think they'd really sing.
Now I don't know what to do. I coveted these sb7000's and Im shocked I prefer to listen to the ARs. Even the RWs managed to handle the co2 cranked past 12 o'clock. I feel like I've been lying to myself. Did my ears break? Or was I just in love with the SBs so much I was fooling myself? I feel exactly like when I realized Santa wasn't real. It's milli vanilli all over again!!!!
What would you do? And speaker recommendations? I listen to everything. Mainly soul and blues, but it can just as easily be hip hop, rock, or 80's. You name it except country. This system usualy has a technics slv5, luxman pd264, or I use the r2r. Im still pretty new to this so any input is appreciated
