BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS


What bookshelfs give more bang for the buck for someone like me who is not an audiophile. I like music at the current time(Cool Jazz, Classical)and will be using the speakers in a small living/dining room (that's why no HT at the present time.) The speakers will be powered by a Marantz SR8000(105WPC.) Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Not knowing your budget but by judging your receiver it would open up very nicely with the B&W dm602 which you can retire to the rear of your room when you upgrade to HT. Yhey are the large model of their lineup in the 600 series and they retail for about 600-650. good luck!
At 800 bux a pair, I've been very impressed with my Linn Tukans. They aren't very sensitive to placement (although good placement is always better). They like to be close to the wall, and are good looking. Try them out.
I had B&W dm 602 and CDM1, GO with SOLILOQUY 5.0 they can't be beat for the price.
For around 300 bones, the Paradigm Mini-Monitor is pretty unbelievable. Not super high-end, but awesome for under $1000. It would be an easy speaker for your Marantz to drive also. Take a listen and you'll see for yourself. good luck!!
