My dealer suggested the Peachtree/ERA D5's as well as the Thiel SCS4's. I'd be confident going with the D5 as I'm sure the Decco was designed specifically for these speakers.
Speakers for Peachtree Decco 65
Hi all,
Just recently purchased a Peachtree Decco 65 and would like some suggestions on speakers for a smallish living room that opens up to dining and kitchen area (open concept basically).
I was surprised to find that my Energy C-3's (>90dB efficiency) did not match well with this amp at all - Little to non-existent bottom-end, basically "thin sounding." So I plugged in my old, beat-up Mission 701's and WOW! What a difference! My vinyl setup really sings! The sub-$100 Missions present a very open and airy presentation, with a tight and controlled bass.
So sticking with that as a starting point, I'm looking for something more polished and cleaner sounder. Suggestions?
I'm looking at about an $800-$1000 budget, although I'd be open to a bit more. The limitations of the room pretty much force me to use bookshelf speakers with about 4-1/2 to 5 feet of separation between them. Also, a lot of absorption from thick carpet and a large sectional couch.
Thanks! ;)
