Speakers for daughter

Just got my daughter wharfedale 12.1’s with an NAD 3020 amp and a teac 3b turntable, also streaming from a hifiberry. Sounds great!  Thrilled that she listens and loves vinyl. 

Since you’re buying for someone who is likely not (yet?) an audiophile, I’d suggest paying attention to aesthetics and also look for something that’s less likely to be finicky about placement (since most people put their speakers up against back walls and directly on cabinets, etc) unless you know the location she’s placing them will leave room to breath. Front-ported has been less finicky for me. As for the look, that’s going to depend on her personal style but there’s a big difference in the look of Elac, KefQ150, wharfedale, etc…Knowing they’re all better than most non-audiophiles listen to, I’d try to match the style of her room.

Loving the look of your system helps a lot when you’re new to the hobby and best to not have something she doesn’t like looking at in her room.

Have you thought about a pair of used Revel M16s or M105s?

Read this thread of response’s so far..

Why submit your daughter to inevitable audio nervosa ?

get her a Crosley do-it-all box and be done !! 

If you expect placement to be compromised, I suggest avoiding rear ports, and going with concentric drivers so that required distance for driver integration will be less challenging. As obvious as it might be to us here, keeping the speakers at the right height, and yes, not blocked by other furniture, etc., as I've seen way too many times before, is paramount.
