Title: What pair of speakers would you buy for 25-30k?
Post by: rj_md on Sep 07, 2015 at 08:31 PM
Hi guys, been out of the ht scene for some time, and though i have done my research a bit, would like to know what would you buy (bookshelf or floorstander) for 25-30k? Will most likely add a sub in the future, but would invest on my mains first. Would then add the other speakers after that.

Tell we what you think? Thanks. :)

From today's current crop of speakers these are what are interesting for me Dali Zensor 3 and B&W 685 S2.

KEF Q300. These speakers would work from Tubes to SS Amps.

I would suggest the Infinity Primus 362/363. Bukod sa personally, (yan ang gamit/gusto ko) but it has the details and clarity plus the vocals that is in your disposal but its just me. :)

my answer is all of the above.

based on your ears sir, you have to make the decision kung ano po ang preference nyo.  best to audition.  saan po ba location nyo so we can recommend authorized dealers na malapit so you can audition the speakers?   ;D

sa ganyang price, may sukli ka pa kung Zensor 3 kukunin mo, pero kung gusto mo isagad from 35k sa B&W 685 S2 ka pero para sa akin sa Zensor 7 ako, di na need ng sub yun lalo na sa music application.

pero nasa iyo parin yan, kaw din gagamit niyan at trust your ears.

Thanks for all the replies! Looking into them now. :)

@whill_, used to own the 362's, really liked them but had to sell them a couple of years back. as much as i loved them, now researching and will auditioning other options lang to see if my taste changed overall. Thanks!

@-mhan-, the Zensor has been recommended often enough, first time ko rin makarinig if ever. will look into it at sir Epoy's place sir. Thanks!

@luis, will be auditioning bago naman bumili, kung baga just narrowing down yung options para yun mga unahin ko for audition. :) presently living in new manila area in qc, any place you could recommend i go to? i would say use would most likely be 70% HT then 30% music. Thanks!

if QC you may google the following:

1) Stereofiles - Timog near Sgt. Esguerra
2) AVShop aka MLY Ent. - Kalayaan Ave near QC Hall
3) Sound & Vision - Banawe
4) The Grey Shop - Katipunan Ave, Whit Plains
5) Audio Amplified - Libis in front of Shopwise very near Eastwood

Set the kind of sound quality you prefer sir, warm, neutral or forward sounding, this will lead to the brand that can match your requirement.  Auditioning will enrich your listening experience and insights.

happy hunting.   ;D

I got kef q300 the other day to replace my bx2. With your price range, its either 685 or q300.
