I don't listen to much classical but for acoustic jazz I love my Silverline Audio SR-11s. A very romantic sounding speaker, cool looking also.
Ultra - smooth bookshelves $500 or under
Can I get your recommendations for ultra-smooth bookshelf monitors for a 20 watt tube-based system for a small room. I listen primarily to jazz and classical at moderate levels. Have tried many single driver models but I just can't get that mellow (yes, veiled!) sound I'm looking for. I'm going for thick and syrupy here! Many thanks!
