Mostly for listening acoustic instruments, even at the expense of bass. I had Linn Keilidh (used) in mind, any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Also haven't decided on the amp yet.
meadowlark hot-rod kestrals are musical speakers, but detailed, they're not. try proac, aerial, dynaudio, ae, meret, for starters. the linn speakers are also more detailed than the meadowlarks.
Try the NHT 2.5i's (but I'd stay away from the older "non-i" versions). They're quite detailed, and have a pretty good reach into the bass as well. The NHT's are definately not for everyone -- they can easily sound a bit bright or scratchy or harsh or "too detailed", especially when driven by "very detailed" equipment. They also have a pretty small sweet spot. Nevertheless, I'd recommend listening to a pair. Can find them on Audiogon for $750 and up.
