Monitors for a 240

Those are good for sure, experiment with output transformer taps for best sound, you might be very suprised
have you considered a small floorstander like a Vandersteen Treo or similar? 

I'm trying to keep peace in the family.
My wife HATES my Lowther Medalians due to the size.
So it appears that she will accept monitor / bookshelf speakers on stands....Go figure.

I’m still struggling with speaker choices for my MC 240.

My current choices are:

Aerial Acoustics 5T

DeVores Fidelity Gibbon 3XL

Dynaudio Contour 20

 

In looking at the specifications and reviews, it appears that my MC 240 might be a bit on the low side as to output power.

 

Can anyone comment or make other suggestions?

Hi all, I’ve just found a McIntosh 240 and am wondering which monitor size speakers would be great with it. Generally I listen to vocals, jazz, light classics and piano.

The Mac 240’s really loved the old Quad ESL 57’s a match made in heaven with that type of music.
I’d say look for a quality 8" two way, with a very good large ribbon tweeter like a Raal that can come down to the 8" without it having to go up too high in frequency.

This looks very interesting 7" 3 way Raal great review and very good measurements

The Aerial 5T are great sounding standmount speakers. I hear them frequently at a friend's place. But I think you need more power to hear what they're capable of. My friend is driving them with a Mark Levinson 585 integrated which might be an overkill but I think any good solid state amplifier delivering 100wpc@8ohm and double that @4ohm should serve them well.
