I listen to mostly rock music and a lot of it on vinyl records. I am playing the music in a standard sized living room. The Whole system is just my acurus A250 ss amp and my 2 speakers.

I'd look at full size speakers in that case. I'd also want a speaker that isn't tipped up in the upper end. What part of the country do you live in? There are many speakers you can look at obviously, but if you can find a nice dealer near you, that would be of help as I do believe that it's nice to get a system and not just components put together, although you can still make that work nicely. If you were to sell your amp, you could get an NAD integrated for a few hundred and a new pair of Vandersteen 1's. Those two work so great together and the integrated smokes many in the 1k region to be honest. I just sold mine as I had to get rid of a few of my systems as I upgraded. They would play loudly, but be very natural and it's a GREAT mix with vinyl. Just read the reviews and you will see what others feel about them. One of the best speaker buys you can get. They will fill your room. You can keep the Acurus with them too. My buddy used to sell the Vandy's with the Acurus amps years ago and they sounded great on rock. Nice staging and just no fatiguing. You're going to get a large list I'm sure, but if you love rock, it's hard to do it with monitors IMHO> |
OP, here is a review that I think you will find helpful. It even addresses how efficient the Vandy 1C's are. Easy to drive by your system or if you ever upgrade it will keep sounding even better as I was trying to point out. Your dealer will help you with the set up to get the most out of them. Very easy to do. http://www.tonepublications.com/review/vandersteen-1ci-loudspeakers/ |
