I'm fascinated by the Wharfedale Linton Heritage. They're a little over your limit (without stands) but I'd check out if you can. Another option is KEF 201 Mk-I. I use these for home-theater and have never been let down. $3500 new in their hey-day (stands necessary). A lot of people say high-end is dying, yet there are so many choices. What can this mean?
Need advice
Hi,
I am fairly new to the audio world and am putting together a system based on my budget. I have an Ikura TT, Rotel RA-1570 intg amp, Marantz CD60006, Martin Logan 700 powered sub. I am 57 and listen to a broad spectrum of music. My budget for speaks is 1000 or less. This time of year affords me more deals in the sense that some 1500 speaker pairs on half off. I have been pointed towards;
Q Acoustics 3050i
ELAC Uni-fi UF5
I have been pointed towards Fluance, Pioneer and blah blah blah. I have educated myself on sensitivity, impedance, neutrality, etc. My Rotel will easily accomodate 4 ohms.
Pls help with any other suggestions...I am just OVERWHELMED with the shear volume of choices and opinions.
Thanks in advance.

I saw this "Uncle Kevin" video yesterday. The Tannoy towers he's touting cost "only" $1100. They look very interesting. Regards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYuQnZbVeaw |
