Bookshelf speakers for $500ish
I'm looking to upgrade my Dynaco A25s to something more compact and modern.
They will be amplified by Marantz 2238B, and I'll be listening to acoustic jazz such as Bud Powell or Miles Davis- a lot of piano trios and small groups with horns.
The room is 10' x 12', and I won't be able to mount them on stands, or be more than a few inches from the back wall.
Budget is $500 or so. I like the idea of buying used, but I'm not up for a very long hunt. New options I'm considering are KEF Q300, B&W 685 S2.
Thanks for your help!

No idea if these are any good, I happened to see the review right before I saw your thread. They are active, maybe you'd like to get rid of that Marantz http://noaudiophile.com/JBL_LSR305/ |
One of my favorite "bookshelf" speakers over the years was the Sequerra Pyramid MET-7. They do't go very deep, but their mid-range and treble are excellent. I used a small subwoofer with the pair I owned, but without a X-over it's hard to get a good blend. The speaker has been in production for 30+ years, and while a new pair is well above your budget, used examples can be an excellent buy (I recently saw a used pair for $600), and there is a pair currently for sale on Ebay for $375. Check out the Internet for various reviews. |
Here's an interesting listing for a pair of Rega RS-1s. No affiliation with seller. |
