Book Shelf Speaker advice - Formerly Book Shelf Dilemma
Hello all. I posted this earlier under the title Book Shelf Dilemma. Thank you to the many who replied with excellent advice and suggestions. Some responders asked about the room dimensions and as I investigated the suggested speakers I concluded that the room dimensions and furniture set up may be important to consider. So, I am reposting with a schematic of the room which shows the Bay Windows and furniture as well as a note that the insulation between my apartment and the unit below is marginal. I make this point with the understanding that a Sub Woofer may be good to include.
Note: I want to position the speakers along the Bay Window facing back into the apartment and dining/kitchen area. Most of my listening is done from this area.
Budget - $1000.00 (with stands would be a bonus)
Amplifier - McCormack DNA 0.5
Pre - McCormack ALD-1
Source - Cambridge 851N - Spotify Premium
Music preferences - fairly eclectic
Jazz (Bony James, Lee Ritenour, Paul Harris, Bob James)
Female Vocals (Eva Cassidy, Duffy, Sarah Jarosz, Nadine Anderson)
1980’s Rock (Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes, Dave Mason)
Thank you all for your suggestions and advice1

@manogolf At $10,000 for monitors I’d highly suggest seeking out the Joseph Audio Pulsar ll that should offer significant improvements across the board. Since you seem to appreciate a good bargain I’ll mention these original Pulsars (sans Graphene driver) in good condition and that are still a fantastic-sounding speaker for only $3000 ($7000 retail). I could see you being thrilled with these along with the thousands of extra $$$ in the bank. If they somehow don’t absolutely knock you out with their sound you can always turn around and sell them for little/no loss given the very attractive price of these speakers. Hope this helps, and best of luck in your search. |
