Monitor audio has a nice balance of form and function. I'd find a pair of their "8" model from any of their various Silver lines.
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
Hey All !
Ok, so with wife is good with spending about $1K on a pair of speakers.
I'm not sure of the preamp yet but the amp will most likely be an Adcom GFA-545 not the 545II.
I now have an older pair of Dayton Wright LCM-1's which are more suited to a smaller room.
The new speakers will be in the living room connected to the Adcom and also a signal fed from the TV but I don't want a multi-speaker system. Stereo is fine and if they sound good to me with music the wife will be happy with the TV sound. She just wants them to look good and not have a lot of wires hanging around. We'll be listening to vinyl, CD's, Lossless, FM and possibly music fed through Apple or AT&T fiber optic TV setup.
The living room is 19' w X 29' d with a 12' ceiling, hardwood oak flooring and 4 - 6' tall windows on one wall. The other side wall is open to a long entrance way and 2/3 of the far side is open to the kitchen are.
I thought about a used pair of Klipsch Hersey's but I keep reading comments that they are too outdated compared to advances in audio over the last few decades.
So for around $1K what are some good choices. I'm OK with used.
Thank you !

@Brianjm1.....I have the Lii Audio F-15's with the extra Thick Wood two tone baffles for $900 pr. for sale . dennis@mbmi.biz |
I recommend taking your $1000 budget and splitting it up between room treatments, speaker wire, and stands if needed. I think if you have a well treated listening space (wife friendly of course) good cables and stands that the speakers you choose will sound their best. As far as speaker choices I would look at the bass extension first, then the finish so it looks pleasing for your wife, finally the sound staging. |
