Speakers for Coffee Shop

Haven't seen vinyl played at coffee shop for quite a while!

I would look into KRK studio monitors. These are active speakers and should receive a balanced signal. If you can find an older preamp such as a Marsh with phono on board and a remote, you will stay well under budget. Of course, that depends on how many speakers you want and how big you want them. Some nice turntables can be found at yard sales or by placing a "wanted" ad on your local CraigsList. Really good tuners can be had for $150 or so and cheap cables will be plenty good enough. Did I cover everything?

Where's it going to be? I'll try to stop in sometime.

OHm Walsh Omnis will deliver good sound throughout the room, not just a sweet spot so nice for a room with many people in many locations.

Also all electronic parts are enclosed in a metal "can" so no worries about fingers, etc. causing any damage if touched. Very durable!!!

Used older Walsh 2s can be had for a couple hundred often on Ebay and will sound quite nice. Other newer models including custom wall mount models, etc. are available from www.ohmspeakers.com.

Thanks all for the responses. I should note that the space is around 1500 square feet, a single rectangular room, not that big.

I know it shouldn't matter, but I would prefer something that looks really good: wood cabinets, great looking front, etc.

Thanks again.
