SPEAKER SUGGESTIONS

In my bedroom I am running a YAQIN 110B tube integrated amp with built in headphone amp. I am using upgraded Gold Lion kt88 tubes. Output is APX 50 watts per channel. The source is a Marantz SA8004 super audio cd player.
I just love the sound of this system using my Sennheiser HD650 headphones.
The sound coming from my speakers is not as good.
The speakers I am using are Pioneer SPB-S22 speakers.
I would like to get a pair of speakers with the same type of sound signature as the Sennheiser headphones I am using. What is your suggestion for new speakers? Will spend up to $1000.

Thanks
Dan

I'm very familiar with the Sennheiser sound over the years. Have heard the 650s. I currently have a half dozen or so phones (2 Sennheiser) and same # of speakers.

OHM Walsh speaker sound and Sennheiser phones have similarities in regards to coherency, tonality and not overly bright, ie non-fatiguing. OHM Micro Walsh used would come in under $1000. Totem Arro is another speaker I have heard that comes to mind.

Do you have a main system that you could put the Yaqin temporarily to evaluate with some different and possibly better speakers? I have a Yaqin MC-30L paired with Focal 836v speakers. I would anticipate them being an excellent match with a Focal bookshelf speakers, but have not had the chance to try it.

Very Good Suggestion Mceljo,

The Focal 706V look like they might be a good match and very efficient...
90Db sensitivity.

Many thanks

My father-in-law has a pair of 706v speakers and I really enjoy listening to them. They are powered by an Onkyo 606 that I gave him. I have wanted to hook them to my Yaqin and see how they sound. I have heard them in the store powered by Krell monoblocks and the difference was pretty significant.

Mceljo,

Nice to see that there are some other Yaqin lovers out there... I just love listening to my Yaqin through the headphones at night..

Regards,
Dan
