Sound Dynamic 300ti, There is a pair on ebay right now, check em out! They need to be on stands about 12 to 18 inches high depending on how high your listening seat is.Plenty of bass, so no need for a sub.
Another "Which Bookshelf Speakers to Get" Thread
Hey folks,
I realize these threads are pretty populous, but I also realize that y'all never seem to have a lack of opinions, so I'll give it a shot ;)
I'm building up a very simple, pure system for listening in my small Brooklyn apartment. It currently consists of:
• Marantz 2235B (35wpc)
• Technics SL-D3 (my Dad's, bought new the year I was born) running a Grado Black cartridge (new last year)
...aaand that's it. I may put an iPod dock into the mix, but for the time being I'm only going to be listening to vinyl and Red Sox games on the radio.
My speaker shortlist is:
• Rega R1
• KEF iQ3
• Paradigm Atom
• EPOS ELS-3
• Cambridge Soundworks Model 6 ($50 used...)
I'm interested to hear what you think, and also where I should look to buy (NYC local, or online)
My musical tastes trend towards the lo-fi (Pavement, Radiohead, Band of Horses), old country, and the occasional John Adams record.
My room is wood floors, fairly narrow (6') and the speakers would be backed up to a brick wall.
Budget gets painful anywhere north of $400, and I'm not shy about used.
And...GO! (thanks)
