Front ported speakers recommendation

Vett93:

Given what you have said, I would suggest the NHT Classic 2 or 3. They are acoustic suspension/sealed box speakers. Besides sounding good, they look good and can be placed on shelves, near rear walls, etc. They sound very musical and almost 3D like with tubes.

Regards,

Rich

JM Reynaud Trente on sale now on Audiogon for $1500, with tubes, they will blow you away (not mine, just sharing tip).

Might want to check out Tyler Acoustics

Thanks all. I am not a fan for monitor speakers. They tend to be shy on bass and need stands to hold them up. Then they tend to be top heavy and get knocked off easily.

I also have a pair of Usher V-602s. They work well with my 300B SET amp in my home office. But they are too bright when driven by the Counterpoint NP100 in my bedroom. I think Usher speakers work well with amps with slightly recessed highs.

I heard the Guru QM10 speakers at RMAF which are around $2,000 and was blown away at how good they sound. The bass was surprisingly good given their small size and they are designed to be placed near a wall.
