May I strongly suggest a pair of Omega Super Alnico Monitors (SAMs). Wonderful for classical, jazz, acoustic. High efficiency, beautiful midrange, and wonderful tone! I was going to get the Harbeth M30.1, had did a week long home audition. Ready to pull the trigger when I heard the SAMs. Was blown away with their sound. To my ears much better than the Harbeth’s, at half the cost. As background, these are the speakers that finally replaced my Spendor BC-1s, and while my musical tastes are broad, I listen to lots of classical (chamber, solo instruments, and symphonies); acoustic Americana, bluegrass and folk; and small jazz. The SAMs reproduce strings, piano, and horns second to none.
Best moderately priced speakers for classical music
I mostly listen to classical music and some jazz. The violin is my favorite instrument and I am looking for speakers that make this particular instrument sound the closest to the real thing. When I say moderately priced, I mean speakers that I might find used for less than $5,000. I have a Lyngdorf TDAI-2200 integrated and Lynn Unidisk SC player. I'm probably not going to change anything but my speakers (Tyler Decade D20). I like the speakers I have, but my room is rather small and the huge Tylers are a bit much for certain recordings and genres. I look forward to your suggestions. Thanks
