My vote goes to the JM Lab Electra 937 Be. It is sublime and McIntosh gear works great with all the JM Labs. You may want to try some Electrostatic hybrids like Martin Logan too. They work great with rock but the Electras will be more refined in the high frequencies. But there are many good choices. Good luck! Arthur
Speakers to mate with McIntosh gear
Hello,
I have a 13 X 16 X 8.5' room that I use a McIntosh C2200 preamp and MC402 amp in. My source is an Esoteric DV-50S. The room doubles as a HT arrangement as well as 2 channel. Currently, I own the Dynaudio C1's and though a wonderful speaker for jazz and classical (and I do listen to these genres too) I find it too forward and thin sounding (partic. in bass) when listening to folk rock and rock. I'd like your opinions on a floorstander for my room that is a great all rounder in music and home theater and can dig a little deeper in the bass. Thanks all. Budget would be no more than 4500 USD.
