Speakers for Coffee Shop

This may have been addressed before, but I am looking for a setup for a coffee shop. Doesn't have to be new. I have a pair of KLH6 at home that I was going to use, but the lady nixed that.

I will be playing vinyl and digital media. I will need a receiver and speakers, and would rather not spend more than $2000-2500 all told.

Thanks very much in advance.

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.

I would actually look into wall mount options ... do not want customers or co-workers accidentally knocking them over (even my CATS have managed to topple a floorstander.

I THINK OHM (who someone else mentioned) has added a wall mount omni to their line-up. Martin Logan and Sonus Faber have a wall mount and Dynaudio DID but not sure they still offer it. I am sure there are many others as well.

If you are looking used and the wall mount idea appeals to you shoot me an email ... I have 2 different pair (ACI and Krell) at home that may interest you. They are currently collecting dust (figuratively speaking as they are boxed).

I was just at a local pub in the afternoon and had to go look at what speakers where being used. The B&W 600 series sounded awesome. for a flatter response I would look into the JBL pro (control) series have owned the Pro 8s for lots of years but use them in the yard and workshop. were they do a wonderful job in conjunction with my old Audiosource AmpTwo. This Combo is a workhorse . and I highly recommend it for open spaces at reasonable volumes. Best Part its Cheap so the non Audio Geek will understand the expense. (Sorry not wood)

Ads L400 in teak would look very nice and would sound wonderful in your shop. I would also concur with the suggestion of actives as well but if you want wood cabinet speakers I think the ADS as well as some of the Cantons look and sound beautiful for not a lot of money.

Hi Aiasthewall

A local Chipotle used Mirage OmniSat V2 speakers throughout the place and also mounted the sub in the ceiling. The amp I believe was from Niles. The sound is fine and not too loud unless someone in the back cranks it.

Woot has the Mirage Omni speakers on a very good sale price right now and they look great IMO.

Best of luck in the search.
