Speaker choice? need advice.


Equipment: Music fidelity A5 integrated amp MH 25.2 cdp. I am currently looking for speakers. Music is 75% rock and 25% jazz (Larry Carlton and the like). Budget is 1500.00 used. Small room but looking for big, clear wall of music! My listing area is very close to the speakers (6’) and will be about (5’) apart. Back of speakers are close to the wall.

Can the Thiel CS2.2 or the Mono Pulse 42A work well in this situation? Ideas, comments?

Totem Sttaf would be at the top of my list. They throw a wide soundstage and disappear without finicky placement. You can find them for roughly $1000 used ($1500 new). They're very impressive, but even more so considering their minature size. They have an unique shape - kind of a mini tower. You might also consider Totem Hawk and Green Mountain Callisto, but the GMs are hard to find on the used market. Of course, go listen before buying anything. I realize this isn't easy to do when buying used, but it's in your best interest to audition. Try to find someone locally.

You should definitely read the threads below. There are some excellent suggestions. The Sttaf are mentioned throughout.
