If you're interested in bookshelf spks. I'd highly recommend you consider Tannoy Fusion 1 or 2. I own the 1 and it is a lovely sounding spk. The 2 has a larger cabinet and larger woofer. Very musical and forgiving. Stands are needed and Plateau is worth considering. If you want floorstanders, there are great deals on Tannoy's on the web. One seller here has the MX-3 for $315! If I needed more spks., I'd get these or the MX-4 w/o hesitation. There are also a couple of R-2 available as well. I also think an older Snell floorstander (J/D/E) would be a fantastic choose as well. If you don't want to buy used, order the Tannoy's.
Best spkrs under $700 for a Rotel RA-1070 integrat
I just purchased a Rotel RA-1070 integrated (100 watts x 2 into 4 ohm) for a great price. Now I'm looking to pair a set of speakers for them. I had originally intended on purchasing a pair of Ascend Acoustic CBM-170's, but now I feel as if my amp is way too strong for a simple bookshelf speaker. I've never specifically heard the 1070, but I have heard the 1062, and it was described to me as a bright amp.
Should I consider any of the following speakers in either bookshelf or floorstanding models? I've auditioned B&W's, Paradigms, and I'm also still considering the Ascend's. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm also open to used speakers, but my speaker budget is $700 max, preferrably less.
