Floorstander reco given a few criteria...


Hello,

Looking for advice on a set of floorstanders given the following kit and cost. The use is purely for listening to vinyl records. I'm indifferent to powered vs passive and space/size isnt an issue. I won't be adding a dedicated sub. Essentially I'm looking for the best quality sound given existing components and a budget of say 3K for the pair of speakers. I don't need wireless connectivity, I'm planning on going RCA all the way thru. 

Connecting to:

I've seen good reviews of the Klipsch R-28PF (powered), the Wharfedale evo4.4, Polk Audio RTi A9, Klipsch RP-8000F and the KEF R5 and Q950 (all passive). I'm sure there are many options but my pre/amp/budget probably narrow the field?

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Underwood HiFi is running a good sale on its LSA speakers here.  They don’t have their LSA-20 Signatures listed, but if they’re on sale too I’d guess they’re somewhere around $2500/pr (that may also include free speaker cables).  Certainly doesn’t hurt to ask, and they offer a 30-day trial period.  There’s also a McCormack DNA-125 amp for sale on eBay for $1100, and pairing that with the LSA speakers would very likely be a killer combo that pushes all your buttons hard.  Just a thought given your preferences, and best of luck in your search. 
What system sound and performance characteristics do you value most, and what would you most like to improve upon over what you have now?
