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

I am looking for a set of speakers (not sure if I want bookshelf size or towers) for my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon DC with 2M blue. I found lots of good reviews of emotive B1+ but not sure if $230 can bring up all the beauty of the vinyls sound or not. I was also considering Q150 and Kliptch. Someone is selling 2015 martin logan electrostatic speakers for 950 on offerup. I am not sure if spending 950 for them versus 200-400 for bookshelf ones will create huge difference in sound when using pro-ject debute DC with blue stylus. I am new to vinyls and need help. Help me please :)

Congrats on your speakers. I believe they are fairy easy to drive so you won't need a great deal amplifier power to drive them. I noticed a Cambridge Audio receiver  on sale for $225 here on AG. Under the amplifier section. Looks to be a good deal to me. According to the seller it is 1 year old. Seller has good feedback.

Well, if your are looking to fill the entire space, as opposed to focusing on a listening 'sweet spot' then a pair of floor standers may prove best.

Buying Wharfedales I would deal with Music Direct. They offer support and a return policy.  As per soix and noromance, buy speakers first, use current amp, save for a 2-channel integrated with phonostage.

Congrats on the phonostage.  How are things going with the speaker search. Once you have speakers you can then look for an line level (no phonostage) integrated amplifier that best fits the speakers. Klipsch and Wharfedale are easy to drive speakers so a ~50wpc integrated should work out.

A lightly used NAD C326BEE would be one I would consider.

Well, quite a price spread and the 11.4 are towers as opposed to stand mounts. Why no Wharfedale stand mounts in the mix? 

What is your room size?

Great idea not to be in a hurry. Get to know your new components while exploring music.

Get back to us when you feel it is time to purchase a integrated amplifier. Given you have the Mani you will need a line level one only.
