for speakers you should definitely look at the monitor audio platinum 300 G2 they're discontinued now because the G3 is now out so you can get a great price for them and the reviews on them have been stellar.
System advice
Haven’t been in forums in years. Previous audiophile that got burned out from audio fever of chasing the grail of audio nirvana. Previous system was Merlin VSM MXE with Ars sonum filharmonia with cardas golden ref cables. Interested in getting a quality 2 channel system. Requirement are full range speakers, integrated amp which can be tube or SS, and high end streaming device. No hard media will be used. I want this to be simple with fewer components/cables. Dac in amp or streaming device. Will be used in dedicated room that shares my HT. Will buy preowned from here. Typically listen to classical, jazz, crooners, acoustic. Budget 12-15k.

+1 You forgot to mention shoe size😁 I was thinking of recommending any of the McIntosh integrateds, but the clarity may not be up to par with your expectations. The musicality is fantastic, though, and those integrateds can power anything. Also, the DA2 module is fantastic! I have a very high-end DAC and enjoy comparing both. You need a $5K DAC to better the MAC. As far as speakers, a previous poster mentioned the KEF LS 50 Metas. You need to have a listen. I can not believe what these speakers do, a price/performance steal. Best of luck! |
@soix , Yes, I hope when he decides, he doesn't 'loose' a lot of 'base'. |
