Good starter speaker
Hello,
I am currently planning out a 2 channel system and I already purchased a used Rogue preamp. The audio visual store that I like to deal with has a trade up program for speakers as long as the trade up is twice as much as the original purchase, which I’m fine with. I am trying to keep the budget as low as possible at this point. Here are the speaker brands that they carry:
Aerial Acoustics, Audio Engine, B&W, Emotiva, KEF, Klipsch Heritage, Klipsch, Linn, Martin Logan, Paradigm, Paradigm Persona, PSB, Soundcast, Spendor, SVS, Terra, Totem Acoustics, Totem Element.
Where would be a good place to start knowing that a year later I can upgrade without losing my initial investment? Also, any suggestions concerning a powered amp in the 700-1500 range would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Roland

This might save you a lot of time and money. Offer $900 for these speakers... https://www.ebay.com/itm/292896650193?ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F1%252F7... Then buy this amp... https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649484829-mccormack-dna125-amplifier-excellent-condition-w-silve... This will be an outstanding sounding pairing with your Rogue preamp and will likely cost you less than 2 grand for both amp and speakers (both being sold by very reputable sellers BTW). These are two very highly regarded manufacturers, so if/when you feel the need to upgrade you can likely sell the amp and/or speakers at very little loss. The amp, by the way, can be significantly upgraded by the designer to a reference level amp if you like the sound (See smcaudio.com). Full retail for both these pieces was about $5200 when new. Good luck even approaching this level of sound at your dealer for under $2k. Just an option, and best of luck. |
