After some long hard debates with my self I have came to a conclusion. I purchased a set of nice Odyssey's that will be hear in 10 days. I was looking at the Prodigy as There is a set that I was going to jump on and the price was outstanding to say the least. However having heard them many times for long duration s. (A friend had them prior to his now CLX). I just could not fathom them fitting into my room as well. They are great speakers but are BIG, and like big rooms. They are power hungry more so than the odyssey.. Albeit they were great, the bass was not room moving.. and they were run with a Krell 400cx..
I am sure the odysseys are not far off but what I did want was a room friendly speaker as I did not have a 24 x 30 room. Its not a small room, but having my old CLS the bigger panels they need more room to bloom that ML stage . Im sure it will be a welcome wagon for my ears as they have grown tired of the Vandersteen 2ce head in vice sound.. Bass and mid bass is great but sibilants and vice stage become tiring.. I like the svelte look of the Odysseys. as well as the half the cost to buy new panels, (god forbid I need to soon).. I have settled on a Krell ksa 100s that is so warm and better to my ears than my older Krell fpb 300c.. Its a 100 watt PURE class A doubling down to 1ohm staying Class A. Krell kps25sc Pre/DAC and CD player all in one will handle my other duties.. AS WELL AS A TT now.. YUP ! I spin the vinyl now.. love the old Tony Matolla stuff
Now many say , why not get new ? Well, one, the used market allows your dollar to go a LONG way,To get to that level new is almost 4 to 5 times the cost.. .. Two, I have heard the Summit X as well as the CLX with twin depth subs and know what the sounds are. CLX and twin subs are out of budget and space.. Summits YOU say! Just not my cup of tea for the dollar.. Great speakers indeed but looks wise and sound wise more importantly they are just not for me.. This is a subjective hobby..
All you Odyssey owners have any tips or words of advice, do chime in ! Pics will fallow when I receive them
