for me I don’t like anything too dry or clinical sounding. I do however value tonal accuracy. I want a piano to sound like a piano, a violin to sound like a violin, and voices to me are a big priority. I’ve heard so many speakers get a lot of things right but the voices sound too nasally and unrealistic if that makes sense. I like totem speakers for their realism and musicality. Wonder if they would pair well?
Speakers for Yamaha AS2100
Hello all,
was recently able to purchase a Yamaha as2100 for a really good price and was wondering what speakers would pair well with it. Budget for speakers will be $2k but am flexible. Was wondering if I could get some feedback from any AS2100 owners. Looking for bookshelf speakers preferably. Listen to a bit of everything but mainly jazz and 80s music. Will not be playing at ear splitting volumes as I live in an apartment. And feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
best,
Mike

You won’t go wrong with the Harbeth P3ESR. I’ve owned many bookshelf type speakers and the P3 is my favorite! https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=harbeth+p3esr+review&view=detail&mid=5D7EB69CCEBBAAE793... |
I have the as2100 and I’m using Merlin TSM’s that I’ve had for about 10 years. I listen to a lot of jazz, jazz and female vocals and other acoustic music at low to moderate volumes and the Merlins are excellent, although they can be a bit finicky to set up. If I listened to a lot of rock or at high volumes they wouldn’t be my first choice. Merlins are no longer in production, but run around 1000 - 1500 on the used market depending on the version. If I were looking to replace them, I believe Harbeth would be on my short list to audition. You’ll love the as2100. Enjoy! |
