Paradigm Studio 20 v.3, front ported should sound good. I had a pair of Studio 40 v.3's with NAD. It was a good match for the price point. You should easily find a pair used within your budget.
Speaker recommendations for NAD
I'd like recommendations for speakers that are well-suited to and compliment the NAD C352 integrated amp and NAD C542 CD player.
Due to severe space restrictions (footprint), they'll need to be bookshelf-size. The'll sit on a long wooden cabinet with the components stacked in the middle. The room has exposed hardwood flooring under a wool area rug.
Music listened to is classical (both orchestral and chamber ensembles), jazz (mostly instrumental, some vocal), prog rock.
Thanks much.
