Wharfedale 10.1 or 225 models are pretty decent and much better than their price might suggest.I had the Diamond 225 in use for the past 3+ weeks. The sound was quite good and I could listen for hours to their comfortable sound. However, I wanted something a little more when it came to the top end detail and opted for the Elac B6.2 speakers instead for $170 - locally, and still in the box. I've read about some crossover upgrades and would gladly spend $100 in components to slightly enhance the sound.
Suggestions for bookshelf speakers that have great dynamics, budget of $500 used.
So I really do not know where to start with bookshelf speakers as not been in the market for any for ever it seems.
This is for a second system where a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 3i are currently doing duty.
Room is largish and open but ultimate sq is not the aim as it is occasional use only, but when I do fire this rig up I usually like to play fairly loud.
Sources are many, fm radio, cassette tape, vinyl and streaming.
I have plenty of horses to feed them so even inefficient models can be considered.
Prefer to buy used as big savings to be had obviously and already broken in.
So suggestions around a maximum price break of $500 used.
Thank you in advance.
