Second Klipsch Forte II
Best floorstanders under $600
I'm looking at Monitor Audio BR5's and Wharfedale 9.6's. I like Evo 30's but can't afford them. I know both of these are mid-fi speakers but all my budget will allow. Has anyone heard both? Can you pass on stregnths + weakness?
Are the BR5's worth $100 more?
If you know the Wharfedales, how do 9'5's compare to 9.6's?
I can't audition so I'm collecting as much info as possible.
I would also listen to any other brand suggestions for towers under $600.
I listen to mostly rock, some jazz and classical.
I have a sub but would like the towers to be able to stand alone. 60% music/30% movies/10% admiring.
Many thanks

Check out the PSB Image T45 floorstander. List price is $800/pair, but if you shop around you can probably find a pair at your budget. The PSB Image series are exceptional at their price in several ways, including good sensitivity, low cabinet resonance, linear frequency response, and wide, uniform dispersion for excellent interaction with the room they're in. |
Fortes..Easy to drive..Modest size cabinet( 3'high ) ..Work well with Vintage Receivers and Intergrateds..( exc with Sansui Au series ) ...Play loud,Big bass,easy to set up ..A touch on the warm/lush side ( at least for me with Sansui )..Work very well with solid core cables ( Anti cables ) ...For $600 ish they are pretty hard to beat.. |
