Passive Bookshelf Speaker Selection


Putting together a first set-up for exclusively turntable listening. I have narrowed things down to the Fluance RT-85 and NAD C 316BEE but am getting stuck with passive bookshelf speakers. Originally was set on the Klipsch RP-600ms but am having second thoughts given concerns about the potential fatigue and overbearing brightness; I’m wondering if I should go for another option in the $500 range or stick with the Klipsch, which I can get for under 500. I’m considering the KEF Q150s, PSB Alpha P5s, ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2s, and B&W 607s. Looking for good dynamics that aren’t overwhelming but also warmth.  

Ideally, I’d love to go test any of these out but that’s unfortunately not an option right now. 

I listen mostly to rock and indie/alternative, and the room is roughly 13x17 ft. 


Should I get the Klipsch or head in a different direction? Any help would be appreciated.

I have the BRO3's by Triangle. First speaker I had to turn down the volume to really enjoy. Not for near field. I enjoy them.  Dynamic, clear, crisp. Well made. I haven't put them in my large room yet with my main system. Using them with an AFA integrated. SS,  75 watts. Nice match. Joe
Given the 40wpc of the NAD316BEE and concerns about possible listening fatigue, I would lean towards the PSB or Wharfdale recommendations. Both are relatively easy to drive and polite in the higher frequencies.  
ALL speakers on the market are broken because they never consulted me when designing them.
That tells you ALL you need to know about this guy.....
