Rotel speaker pairing advice


Hello, I have a rotel 1070 pre and 1080 power matched with an original pair of Boston Acoustic A100s. Yes, it's time for new speakers!

I listen to equal parts vinyl, streaming, and high bit rate mp3s. I lean toward jazz, reggae and classic rock. My wife, pop and rock.

I'd like three ways, perfect world under $2k, willing to go used...

Any suggestions welcome and appreciated. Thank you.

How big is your listening room? How far from the speakers is your listening position? Three ways may not be the best way to go.

As far as the amp goes, the Rotel amps are fine and will produce a pleasing sound with an almost countless number of different speakers. The question is one of what you like in terms of the character of the sound.

As asked above, what do you dislike about the Boston Acoustics?
I have Rotel , I use it now for HT as I prefer tubes for 2 channel music .
If I was looking for a speaker for the Rotel , I would look for a warm sounding speaker as the Rotel can be a bit bright on the top end . I had the Rotel paired with JM Lab speakers and a NAD CD player... one heck of a sound stage ! But there were some CD's that would make your skin crawl . And the JM Lab and NAD are on the warm side of things .
Given that , the warmest speaker that I have heard is the
Von Schweikert VR 4 JR. Used , these should be in your budget .

Happy Tunes
Saki70,

What type of Rotel amp are you talking about, the newer Class D ones or the older, traditional type?
