Title: Bookshelf Speaker Recommendations
Post by: jurgenestanislao on Nov 14, 2014 at 12:08 AM

Hi guys,

I'm currently looking at building another audio setup for a new place that I will be moving into–a relatively small flat around 50sqm.

In any case, I'm looking for well balanced set of bookshelf speakers which can produce crisp and clear vocals primarily as I generally listen to soul, jazz, and a little bit of slow rock and orchestra.

My source will be a turntable while I look at driving the speakers with a KT88-tubed amplifier.

Budget can be stretched from $500 to $800.

Thanks!

Jurgen

that's $500-$800 for a pair right? I'd recommend a GoldenEar Aon 2 or Martin Logan Motion 15 then.  :)

ako my personal choice will be xavian xn125 junior.... para kang may maliit na floorstander. you can audition it at audio amplified.... :)

pero kung may makukuha ka na used and mint lsi9, i believe that sa $1000 category, unbeatable sya.IMHO :D

sonus faber toy sana kya lang baka mabitin ka sa bass, unles you will get a sub >:D

Thank you for the recommendations. Haven't auditioned these two yet but would you be able to explain their characteristics?

Top of mind I was also thinking of Dynaudio Excites and PSB Imagines.

Thanks!
