Fed up with my speakers

[Sailor4W]

I know what you mean about the British sound and avoiding the 'dated' aspect of it. I've found that Graham Audio offers both the traditional British sound as well as speakers with a modern take. Their current lineup may be worth looking into for you.

Ah, Graham Audio, I completely forgot them! Aren‘t they all built around the classic LS3/5a? Graham Audio seems to be reasonably priced, unlike Harbeth. The LS6 had a good review at Darko.audio (https://darko.audio/2019/01/graham-audio...s6-review/). Worth looking into, thanks!

Their LS3/5 and LS 3/5a are. They've done a few other designs, too, including some new ones this year. But the LS6 is modern. I own the LS6f (the floorstanding version) and use them in a converted dining room (for now) and couldn't be happier. I suggest you check out their site. Hope there's a nearby dealer so you can audition. That's a problem here in the States!

That's exactly the problem here, too. No dealer around nearby. And as long as they don't have a 30 days return policy, I am afraid it would be a bit risky of buying them without a proper audition. I might travel to London later on this year (now that they dropped the quarantine) and I might audition them there. But I'd prefer to listen to them in my own living room. I guess the airline wouldn't be pleased if I showed up with two large crates housing the LS6s  !
