What floorstanding speakers should I buy?
Assuming you have some elbow room - hard to beat a used pair of PSB Stratus Goldi. When they come up, they usually can be had within your budget and your NAD will drive them splendidly! When they were new, they were very highly reviewed by many publications (not that that counts for too much, but it's better than nothing!) The Stratus Silver and Bronze are good values, too! Good luck! |
+1 on the PSB Stratus Gold. They effortlessly fill a room, go deep, and scale well from solo voice to big band or orchestra, especially with an amp as powerful as yours. One of the surprises of this speaker is its fast, transparent midrange. The speaker cab looks like it would be slow and murky, but it's anything but. Read Stereophile's review here, and check out its measurements here. Particularly note its near absence of cabinet resonances, the really linear response including a very flat and unlumpy bass, and wide, smooth lateral dispersion. |
