I like the Dynaco A-25 with the NAD 3020. I think on par with the AR-3 for much less $. Not super detailed or extended highs, but very natural, smooth in ways modern stuff isn't. The A-25 is really an early B & O, back when they made good sounding stuff. Easy to drive and I still think what 200 for a nice pair. If you like em, you can upgrade to a nice vintage tube amp for the leftover dough and use the 3020 phono stage. Exactly the path I had my friend take and it sounded very good. Upgrade was to Eico HF-86. |
I dare make no claim of "best" as this is highly subjective to your complementary components, listening environment, media source, music preference and listening habits, but I do like the Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 $249 http://www.musicdirect.com/p-15476-wharfedale-diamond-101-bookshelf-speakers-pr.aspx?utm_source=goog... With current sale prices they fall well within your stilulated $500 budget with these highly recommended speaker stands: Wharfedale Diamand 10.1 (matched pair) $160 http://www.musicdirect.com/p-99915-wharfedale-diamond-101-102-speaker-stands-pr.aspx The only remaining question is: Where do you find a great sub for $91? |
