Speakers for Pro-ject Debute Carbon DC with 2M blue

Thank you Mesch. I like the speakers a lot so far as well as Schiit mani and debut DC. I definitely need to check the listing you are talking about. For now my old Pioneer seems enough to drive the speakers so I want to do some research and listen to the different music styles to see what I should be aiming for. I am sure I will be confused and asking lots of questions until I make up my mind again. 

I was thinking about getting Schiit mini preamp and see if I can use my old Pioneer VSX-D498. I was trying to stay under $700 for speakers

Wharfedale Diamond 11.3 seem like awesome speakers for $700. I am reading more about them. Do you think my receiver will be fine to run them or I will need to upgrade it?

Do you think Cambridge Audio CXA-60 would make a big difference in sound quality? Or what would you suggest within that price range? The reason why I mentioned Cambridge Audio CXA-60 specifically is because someone is selling it for $350 in my area.

I also have Pioneer VSX-824 in my movie room that I can swap and use it for turntable if that will improve the listening experience and give me more speaker options. I am sorry for all the questions. I am just trying to figure it all out with all of your help

Thank you Soix and Noromance for great suggestions. I think it’s a great approach. I see on Amazon Wharfedale - Diamond 11.4 for $299 each. Should I be considering those? It seems like a good deal

The room is 13x 30. They have black Diamond 11.4 for 299 each as well

Yesterday I went to BesBuys and Frys electronics stores trying to find some speakers to listen to to compare the sound. The only brands that were available to listen to were KEF, Martin Logan, B&Ws, and Definitive Technology. Unfortunately they did not have Wharfedale that was hoping to listen to before I decide to order them. They also had Kliptch and Polk but only in the floor so I could not compare these two to the rest in the audio room. Polk sounded too soft to me when I listened it in the store display area but I did like the Kliptch. Again I could not compare them to the rest and I am sure they would sound differently in the audio room.
Also, I found NAD 3240PE in my area for $50. It looks like it is old but everyone is saying great things about even now. Not sure if I should get it to use it as a preamp or order schiit mani instead. 

Vandersteen 1ci’s for $400 is awesome. You definitely got lucky audionoobie.

Thank you. Just ordered a black mani, hopefully won’t take weeks to get it. I am a woman and Ukrainian so patience is definitely not in my blood. On the good side - everyone is talking about a wife approval factor here and I am a wife so no approval is required for me haha

Thank you. I am down to 3 options - Kliptch RP-160M for $250, Kliptch RP-600M for $475 for opened box, or Wharfedale Diamond 11.4 for $600.

It’s going to be in the living room that transitions into the kitchen (open floor plan). The size of both together is 13x30

I just got Klipsch RP-600m from Amazon delivered. Opened up and realized i need the wires. Ugh... it has been a long time since I bought speakers so completely spaced out that they won’t come with wires.
