Not sure of budget but the DIY kit from Madisound of the Klang & Ton 2 way lg shelf / stand speakers can be had for around $2k using flat pack cabs and supplies. Use arguably some of the best drivers known with hi-quality XO parts. For another $1k can get heirloom furniture quality cabs built by Lee Taylor. Ported or unported design. I think they sound best low power to about 85 db listening level in my medium room (14 x 21).
Stand Mount Speakers
It seems like there is an endless amount of options these days, some good and some not so good. I've been using a very clean set of B&W 602 S3 speakers for quite some time. Great when the volume is up, but not so great at the low end. I'm in a 1300 sq ft condo now and the main room is about 800 sq ft. Current equipment is as follows:
Emotiva XMC-1 Processor Emotiva BasX 5 channel amp Emotiva Airmotiv 8 Sub Thorens TD 145 Mac Mini Apple TV
I listen to a lot of vinyl, multiple genres and stream some music and movies.
I'm looking for bookshelf/stand-mount speakers. Was leaning toward the Focal Aria K2 906 or the Dynaudio Evoke 20. Other recommendations are greatly appreciated.
