System advice


Hello Audiophiles,

I am interested in your opinions regarding a good speaker match to my Creek 5350 SE amplifier. I have been listening to this amp with PSB Image B25 speakers for several years. These speakers have served me well, but I am ready for an upgrade.

My listening room is a 24X12 with 9 foot ceilings. My musical tastes are eclectic, spanning rock, pop, blues, and acoustic music of various sorts, but I primarily listen to jazz. I would like to get the job done for $1500 or less, but I could see going up to $2000 (give or take) for something really spectacular. I plan to audition speakers before I buy them, if possible.

Right now, my leading contender is the Epos Elan 15. (My sister just got the Epos Elan 10 to play with her less powerful Creek amp, and loves the match up.) I’m also considering Monitor Silver RX6 and PSB Imagine T towers. It's hard not to consider KEF Ls50 given the rave reviews they have received. Does anyone has experience driving any of these speakers with a Creek amp comparable to mine, or other ideas about speakers to place on my audition list? I am open to a standmount or a floorstander.

Any recommendations most appreciated!

Best,
Greta

Your room is fairly large and you listen to some bass heavy music - rock, pop, blues - I think you might be better served going with a floor stander rather than monitor. In your price range 1500-2000 I cant recommend Tekton Designs enuff - I really liked the Enzo. Check out my review on tnt-audio.com.

I got very good results using MA Silver RX8's and Vandersteen 1C's with my 5350. Can't see you going wrong with either of those.
