15k USD Speakers for Classical and Pop Extended Listening, Near setup, Low volume


Dear Audiophiles,

I am looking for some speakers for my home office. Speakers would be place 6ft from me on either side of my desk. Speakers will be 8 ft apart.

I love classical music and pop. I am looking for speakers for extended listening at not very high volume. They should be warm and non fatiguing.

I am currently considering following speakers:

1. Monitor Audio Gold 300

2. ATC SCM40

3. Kef R7 Meta

Do you have any other suggestions. Thanks and appreciate your help!

I deleted my last two posts because I misunderstood where you were putting the speakers.  So many good suggestions already.  You can’t go wrong with the Harbeths as mentioned.  I would look at Tannoy Eatons also.  For low level listening the larger paper/pulp speakers are very nice and easy to drive.  They respond well to a lot of different amplification as well.

@ilikeclassical in the 10K range I have no experience. But I can tell you what I like in general based on demos, and what are neutral or warm (and again the 10K dudes: https://speakerchoices.com/?pricemin=7000&pricemax=14000)

Dynaudio, Harbeth, Marten, Qln, Revival,  Sonus Faber, Totem. You couldn't go wrong.

I’d add the Joseph Audio Pulsars to your list.  Here’s a nice pair at a good price complete with stands if you need/want them.
