I love the Aegir (in mono), maybe the JBL HDI-3800 would work well being a fairly efficient speaker.
Need some help- Speaker choice for Schiit Aegir+ Freya+
Hello, my first post on the forums.
I recently acquired an Aegir and Freya+ pre-amp for my 2 channel stereo system. My current pair of speakers are Paradigm SE Atom monitors, which I am looking to upgrade. Been reading stuff all over the internet trying to narrow it down.
My budget is $2500 or less. The room is 17x15 and I am in a condo unit, so I cant really crank up the volume too much.
Knowing that the Aegir is only 20 watts into 8 ohms, I'm looking for a speaker that will sound good at low listening levels. I mostly listen to classic rock. So far I have come up with these:
Wharfedale Lintons, Omega Alnico or Super Alnico, Fyne F500, NSMT model 25/Chorus, and possibly Klipsch.
Also, I am going to need to purchase without actually listening to the speakers. I live in the US but I'm far from any hi-fi store.
Best choice from what I have listed? Or is there another speaker that would be a better match?
Thanks,
Weasel
