Shostakovich knew how to rock. Take the tenth as an example. A good speaker will play anything. I think what they mean is the little speakers will play very loud with minimal power. Put subwoofers under these speakers and you can make a very sizable presentation. If you really want to knock yourself out the back door with say, The Firebird check out the Cornwalls (also Klipsch) Both these speakers are very detailed without getting harsh. You get a lot of speaker for the money and most importantly it does not take huge amounts of power to drive them. The speakers that are noticeably better are way more expensive and generally less efficient. These you will be able to drive fine with your old receiver until you can afford to upgrade your electronics. A 60 watt/ch tube amp would be perfect:)
Itching for better sound
Pretty happy with sound through my Sennheiser HD700s listening through headphone amp to classical CDs on Marantz CD6006...but too much headphone listening makes my ears buzz, so I want to start listening more through speakers.
Could set up either the Marantz or a NAD 516bee cd player, connected with RCA to an old Denon AVR1404 receiver to speakers. My PSB speakers are fair. What I want to know is how much will a pair of Kef LS50s improve my sound? Is my $800cdn (used) better spent on something else--other speakers or another component?
