Speaker matching for Audiolab 6000A


Shopping for some monitors that match well with Audiolab 6000A integrated amp.  Recall reading somewhere this amp not the last word in grunt, and difficult to drive speakers should be avoided.  Deep bass not necessary as the speakers will likely be supplemented with a subwoofer.  Budget up to about a grand, but much less is great if the match is right.

A bit out of your budget, but if you can stretch it, I can attest to the fact that the ProAc Tab 10 are an excellent match with the Audiolab 6000A. Especially for near-field listening. Incredible mids/highs without any crispy edges.

@akg_ca got it, no to EVO 4.1

@hoytis ProAc huh.  Nice speakers.  Not my money.  Worth making the suggestion.

From what I've read about the amp it is excellent for the $ but can be lacking a bit in body more neutral side. It might mate well with something a bit mellow like a Warfdale. Maybe a Lyntons. Also from personal experience, CSS Criton 1D is an excellent speaker of that type if you want to make a pair from a kit. One more choice foe a speaker that is laid back consider a Dynaudio Evoke 10 or 20. Maybe rustle up a used pair. I'v owned the last two so it's personal experience.

Try heading over to Youtube and search out reviews of the Audiolab 6000A. There are some that tried them with different speakers, which would help narrow down your search. Some that come to mind are Andrew Robinson, Zero Fidelity, British Audiophile, to name a few.

All the best,
