Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers.


I'm looking for a pair of HiFi but inexpensive bookshelf pair of speakers in the $400.00 - $600.00 range for my second listening room. Don't mind buying used. Keepers for life to be paired with Cronus Magnum in an all analog set-up. I only listen to LPs:

Music preference:
Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits, Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Supertramp, Alan Parsons, James Taylor, Eric Clapton, Eagles, Norah Jones, Diana Krall, Bob James, Chuck Mangione, Stan Getz, Herb Albert, Sergio Mendes, etc.

Small listening room (12x10), with excellent acoustic treatment. I've heard great things about the Totem Dreamcatchers at the asking price range but don't know if they are a good match for the type of music I enjoy listening.

Your input will be greatly appreciated.

To my ears Dreamcatchers are better than Model !'s.
AS I have said MANY times read the Sterophile review on Dreamcatchers, the reviewer was spot on.
Kiko65,

I don't really know as I am almost exclusively a listener of classical and chorus . My guess is Dreams are not for you, what is astonishing about them is the clarity and the fantastic sense of the hall acoustic music is recorded in.
I would think Silverlines would be nice for that, a lot of pace and "jump'"
And of Model 1"s too, I have a pr of Model 1 Signatures playing a Mozart Wind piece as I type this.
