There are two pair of speakers currently for sale on this site that I would recommend. One is the Ridge Street Audio Sasons at about $5500. The buyer is requiring pickup only on those. The other is the Intuitive Design Summit for about $5000. That buyer will ship. Both are stand mounted monitors but play solidly down to 40 hz or slightly lower. You could get by without a sub, and many owners of both do. I have had a good audition of the Sason and own the Summits. Both are incredibly good sounding speakers. I know I've spent many hours listening to the Summits at low to mid volume and they are mesmerizing. Check the user reviews of both on this site, they pretty much sum up my opinions of both. Good luck.
Speaker suggestions
After many years of hearing music through a 5.1 SS system, I am putting together my 2 CH listening room. I have started with a MC MA6500 Int Amp and now on the search for speakers. I've listened to the Magenpan 1.6 and 3.6, both very nice, Thiel 2.4's, nice but not sure worth 5K. I'm thinking of the SF Domus GP also but there are no dealers near me. The bargin hunter in me see's the Polk LSi'S and RTi series as very good for the money, but money is not my bottom line on this matter. My budget is up 6K for speakers and that would include a SW if needed My listening is a mix of Jazz, Blues, Classic Rock, and some classical. Most of my listening time will be later in the evenings, so I want a system that performs well at low to mid level volumes.
Thanks
