Can someone describe the sound of KEF IQ30's ?
hesitant to buy used speakers, hmmmmmmmmmm. you might want to post a thread here and ask what other a goners say about this. if you trust this membership to recommend spkrs you may as well trust them with this question. you may one day realize the... 
Can someone describe the sound of KEF IQ30's ?
i read reviews and they are all over the place. here is some straight advice tho.. if you must replace those polks move up an entire notch or two and buy a used set on a gon that will outperform the kef. i am basing this on the reviews i read of t...

oops, overlooked you apparently already were using tubes...so strike the ss gear inference 
Good $2k Used Speakers for 20wpc tube amp
just saw a pair of meadowlark heron 2i for sale here.. 2k for 7k spkr. 90 db. u may find bass for rock not as dramatic as ss amps tho so sometimes there is a tradeoff between the 2 types of power source. ntl, the herons are a fabulous spkr and at ... 
Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices
rhljazz has a good point. great speakers can sound like crap in one room and xlnt in another as u know. imo, most gear questing is a failure to create a good acoustic space that matches the current eqpt. but no one in industry wants to mention thi... 
Speaker advice
if HT is definitely in your future, i second the advice about monitors and sub. get them used and 1200$ will get you a very nice set up with plenty of slam for rock and movies. advice... shy away from monitors that rely too heavily on sub for norm... 
Bookshelf Speakers That Bolt or Screw Into Stands
paradigm as mentioned above, attractive stands can also be filled with sand or shot. very sharp design. 
I would appreciate some speaker suggestions
$2500 is plenty of $$$ and you can get great bass too!!! used speakers are a bargain esp if you research them here and elsewhere. don't overlook a subwoofer too. some people equate overspending for improved sound, it is why people buy rolls royce ...

mpg2971,, btw, there are some myths out there regarding musical genres and spkr design. be your own guide or you might fall into this trap. not bashing peoples opinions but as you sound new to it i just wanted to give you a heads up. choose the sp... 
Next step after B&W 802D
Davt, i do believe audiofeil was being sarcastic. at least i got a chortle out of it.;) 
want to build a 2 channel system where do i start
for starters, just because you can spend 20K is no reason to feel like you will not be satisfied with a less $ set up. listen to more modest systems at any number of dealers. classical rock recordings in original formats are generally not that wel... 
New B&W
consider that even doing an a/b comparison in same room with all things equal, the room itself will perform differently with each speaker. no 2 spaces are exactly the same acoustically. not to mention the complete subjectivity involved in the list... 
New B&W
having owned less $$$ b@w's over the years this is interesting. the idea that one needs a 500 wpc amp to drive a speaker in a home stereo is hard to fathom. that's a heck of a spkr design if this is true. i guess i should have gone into oil future...
