BEST SPEAKER TO MATCH..

This is probably the first time that a female trying hard to be in audio circa, is asking desperately of what speaker I can match with my Sunfire AMP (300 watts per channel and Sunfire tube pre-amp with kimber hero IC and kimber 8tc speaker cable.

Right now I am using NHT 2.5i and my boyfriend (who introduce me to this craze)is telling me all the time that my set up did not match the performance of my amp and pre-amp....pleeease help...

you guys are very helpful, I wish I could invite all of you to my little shack so that you can personally give your honest opinion of which speaker brand I need to go.
I do like the proac but the price is kinda a little bit out of my budget, and I dont want to ask help from my boyfriend..you know what I mean a "a girl thing"//huh!.

Again..to you good looking helpful guys..thanks from the innermost chamber of my heart..

Rox, given your musical tastes and gear, I'd have to suggest you consider a planar speaker. Planars don't really excel on hard rock but sure are sweet with instrumental, vocals, and lighter jazz. It's no secret that I'm a big fan of tube preamplifiers, solid state amplifiers, and planar speakers. Once you get used to 'statics or full range ribbons it's hard to go back to traditional box speakers. Assuming speakers 4 feet tall (or bigger depending on model) are your idea of "decorating" go for a planar! Do a search here under Martin Logan, or if you're adventerous Apogee (you certainly have the amp to drive difficult loads) and pick a model in your price range. Happy hunting! Jeff

Hi Rox,
I hope you are after best possible sound, not just some good looking boxes.
90% of sound is made by your room and the speakers!!!
Please describe your room shape and size, the position of your furniture. I might be able to help.

My room is about 15 ft by 25 ft and about 10ft high and I have a sofa and love seat in which it accomodate almost third of my listening area and my floor is carpeted, I have my speaker placed about a foot away from the wall and I have it toe out about 8 inches on the side.
Your advise will be rewarded by good smile and a wink of my hazel eyes...how about that!!!!!!(my boyfriend is right here beside me breathing like a dragon..he..he..he...he)
