Speaker match for HK 3490
« on: Nov 23, 2015 at 12:26 PM »
Hello mga sirs! This is my first post and also a newbie in the quest for good sounds:)
I recently purchased an HK 3490(2nd hand) and i hope you guys can give me some ideas on what speakers to buy for this amp. So far, from what i have read the default partner for hk is jbl or infinity
And im hoping you can help me out in suggesting other speakers with personal reviews. Im looking for floor standing speakers mainly for music played from cd's and vinyl and my budget is 20-30k.

TIA!

Go for the Polk Audio TSX440 or TSX330. They fit into your budget and sound great with HK amplifiers and receivers.

I love dali with the hk.

zensor 3, 5 or 7 with hk3490.

hk 3490 is warm and full sounding, best matched with neutral speakers like dali.  tannoy, castle pwede rin.
