Passive Bookshelf Speaker Selection

Putting together a first set-up for exclusively turntable listening. I have narrowed things down to the Fluance RT-85 and NAD C 316BEE but am getting stuck with passive bookshelf speakers. Originally was set on the Klipsch RP-600ms but am having second thoughts given concerns about the potential fatigue and overbearing brightness; I’m wondering if I should go for another option in the $500 range or stick with the Klipsch, which I can get for under 500. I’m considering the KEF Q150s, PSB Alpha P5s, ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2s, and B&W 607s. Looking for good dynamics that aren’t overwhelming but also warmth.  

Ideally, I’d love to go test any of these out but that’s unfortunately not an option right now. 

I listen mostly to rock and indie/alternative, and the room is roughly 13x17 ft. 


Should I get the Klipsch or head in a different direction? Any help would be appreciated.

In my opinion, The Triangles will play louder and be more dynamic. The Triangles will be a little more laid back.

It would be a toss up for me between the B&W 606 and The Triangle Borea BR03.

The B&W 607 should be compared to the Triangle Borea BR02.

Get the Triangle BR03!  I think you’ll be very happy that you did.  Good things come to those who wait 😁
