What are some good companys to look into for 2 channel music only? Looking for a live sound and a full sounstage. Not too bright. Smooth and punchy mids and lows.
Magnepans require too much power for you Harmon Kardon, and the placement of them requires alot of room from back wall. They are great speakers but too many suggest them before they really know if they are ideal.
Using a receiver may require you to look at easy to drive speakers . Receivers generally do not have much power . Their stated wattage listings are dubious at best . Try to find something in the 90db. range . I had some nice 88db. speakers on a receiver . When I moved to seperates , it was as if I had taken a blanket off of my speakers !
Ascend Acoustics speakers are said to go well with HK electronics, AA used to sell HK on their website, maybe still do. Look into their CBM-170's. Very nice and well below your budget. Good luck.
PSB - For $800 or so - I am not affliated with DMC electronics, but if you go to their site you can get new speakers at great prices - supposedly have minor blemish - I bought from them and am still looking for the blemish - very good speakers for the money
