Here's another excellent choice for your situation and music taste. Mirage OMD5 sold by Vanns, brand new. A subwoofer could always be added later if needed.
Small monitors/bookshelves for classical music
I currently own KEF iQ5 floorstanding speakers and ROTEL RB980BX Power Amp. I listen to classical music(Bach, Mahler, Wagner, etc). Though KEF iQ5 lacks deep bass, I am completely fine with that when listening to classical music.
I am seeking to buy a pair of new/used monitors/bookshelf speakers. I want a truly "bookshelf" speaker which can be put on a desk or even a bookshelf. I will not put them on stands. Neither will I pair them with a subwoofer. But I will pair them with this ROTEL RB980BX. ROTEL RB980BX is very powerful, 120W/ch. I can spend below $600.
After doing multiple painful searches online and on this forum, I have several potential speakers/monitors in mind.
PSB Alpha B1
B&W 686 or 685

Let's try this again. Mirage on Audiogon |
Oops, missed your price point Hl10027, sorry. Quad 9Ls (or 12Ls) actives are nice if you have preamp-outputs somewhere in your system. I have both on computers & like them a lot. The 9Ls can be found for about $500 used and are very silky and well defined at at the same time. They can even be driven right from your source with their own remote volume control. |
