SteveMKentucky 70 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I am looking for a pair of speakers for a system I'm setting up in my study. I'm somewhat limited on space, so I'm looking at 'bookshelf' sized speakers which I plan to use with a subwoofer. The subwoofer for now is a Polk PSW-111, but it will likely be replaced with a Sunfire sub. I will be driving them with a Carver 900 (for now - maybe upgrading in the future). I could go with a bit larger speakers if I can put them on stands and fit them in a corner. I have had good experiences with JBL, Polk, and Infinity speakers. I'm a little fond of the sound of vintage Infinities. In attempting to get the best bang for the buck, I'm willing to refresh a pair of vintage speakers but am not looking for something just for 'vintage' sake. Any advice?
SteveMKentucky 70 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 What is your price range? Under $1K.
Showmodel 86 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 How limited on space are you? Approx dimensions would help. As far as Polks or JBL, I would be looking at Polk Monitor 7's or JBL Decade L36.
sea 675 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 The CRM2's with a good subwoofer would be good choice. Early reviews of the Carverfest Ribbon speaker indicate that it may even be better. Search for the thread. The downside is you would have to wait until the Fall for the Carverfest. Kve777's CRM2's look like a good deal.
trav0810 586 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I have a pair of Polk Monitor 5's that I'm pretty fond of. Theybwould be the bottom end of your price. They can usually be had for around $100. The Sunfire Cinema Ribbons are a spectacular speaker and they would run around your max of 1k. There are all kinds of brands and models in between!
kve777 6,889 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I think he's going with these: (no flaws on the ribbons, digital photograph artifacts)
oldtexasdog 2,461 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Have not heard those yet but I do love the fat mids (tube sound) of these. and they can be had for less than 1K
