"the Harbeths are overpriced. They are just not the best value for the buck. "
Compared to what?
Accuphase Bookshelf Speaker Pairing recommend
Friends: I would love a bookshelf speaker suggestion: I have come into a used Accuphase e-280 integrated amp which I will use for streaming music in a small den (11 x 11 ft / 3 x 3 meters). I now need to buy bookshelf speakers: I would love speaker recommends from knowledgeable folks here. I prefer warm rich tones, detailed and controlled, leaning toward feeling like "live". . I already have a good subwoofer. I appreciate your time. Thank you.

@yogiboy compared with everything with the same characteristics and parameters (not made by an English Duke and out of gold), in the same price range. "Overpriced" is not a subjective term. It doesn't mean a person can't justify buying it and loving it, it just means that for the same value you can buy "more" speakers. |
Just get something easy to drive like Klipsch whatever cheap bookshelves on cheapaudioman says. Your accuphase is designed by Japanese engineers who like sweet warm stuff that is not accurate! so you want something with horns. Under 2 grand will get you MDF cabinets too! They boogie woogie and wiggle wiggle! |
Buchardt Audio S400 MKIIs should fit your needs. A little over $2,000 a pair, but has free shipping, a 45 day listening trial, and a 10 year warranty. Mads Buchardt stands behind his speakers. Just do a search and you'll find dozens of positive reviews. I've had mine for a couple of years now and still adore them. They can be placed about 15 to 20 inches from the front wall, so no need to pull them way out into the room. Great imaging, soundstage (width and height), easy to hear musician placement, nice speed, beautiful good midrange, and surprisingly good bass. 87 db at 4 Ohms they need a little juice, but the Accuphase should do just fine |
