I have the 685s in a smaller living room system, hooked up to a Berkeley DAC and Innersound amp; preampless and it sounds pretty sweet. The punch WAY above their weight class. GREAT pair of speakers for that amount of money. I am probably going to pick up a send pair for my office at work, to use with a tubed intergraded, unless I go for almost doubleld the money and get a pair of Totem Rainmakers.. (I love Totem Rainmakers for small speakers- and rock-dynamics and bass galore.
Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd
Hello everyone,
While I have been reading the forum for quite some time, this is my first post.
I have a modest audio set-up that I want to upgrade: Yamaha rxv 657, Infinity P253 and technics 1700 turntable. Just sold a Denon CD player that I need to replace too.
I want to start with the speakers. I listen exclusively rock music in a 4x7 square meter room.
Due to availability in my country, I wonder what would be the best speakers that 1 kusd could buy. My options are:
- BW 685 s2 (due to great reviews).
- Paradigm 20
- Monitor Audio S6
- Dynaudio x14
Could consider/get Jamo 803 and Dali too.
I wish I could stretch to the Sonus Faber Venere 1.5.
What would be your recommendation, taking into account that most dealers do not have demos.
Thank you!
