Well I must say that finding the right speakers, really depends on your electronics. If you like Mcintosh which is known for there warmth and musicality, you should probably try a speaker that is very nuetral and detailed to compliment your set up. I have tried various speakers in the many years I have been doing this, and I have finally settled on a pair of tyler acoustics reference II's. I find them extremely nuetral and accurate with full bodied sound. They will portray very well what your gear has to offer without adding any more color and they go down to 26 hz. They are perfect for classical and Jazz, but at the same time they will sound great with rock and rap. Also they love good quality cables. I have found a great match with PS audio statement speaker cables, extreme statement power cables and acoustic zen matrix reference II balanced interconnects. You should really try these speakers in your current set up, I think you will be very happy with them! Good luck on your quest for great sound!!
Need suggestions for new speakers under $5K
Hey everyone,
I'm thinking about building a second system in my living room. The room is much bigger than my tiny bedroom (please look at my system) and I'm very open to advices. It's about 12' x 18' with a large opening to the dining room.
The speakers will be hooked up to McIntosh MC7300 power amp (300Wpc) and the MCD7008 CD player. I've decided to use my C40 pre amp as an integrated amp for my bedroom, which I found out works really well.
I mostly listen to classical music and a lot of jazz at very loud levels, but also listen to every other genre including metal, rap, pop, but excluding country (no offense). I'm not looking for the most "accurate" pair of speakers, but a pair that's very "enjoyable" and "musical". It needs to be really full range, at least giving me a clean, loud 30Hz drum thwack. I don't plan on adding a subwoofer to the system. My budget is $5K new or used, but would prefer to spend less if possible.
I'd appreciate any recommendations and suggestions,
Thanks,
Seong
