2. speakers
  3. 128114-84786

Looking for speaker ideas.

Looking for speaker ideas and room size is 11 w x 16 l x 9 ft ceilings.....room has acoustical panels. Music ranges from Big Band , Blues, Rock.

Equipment so far is :

Wyred 4 Sound st-500
deHavilland Mercury Preamp
Sim audio phono pre
VPI Industries HW-19 mkIII GLOSS BLACK W/MOERCH UP-4 / Ortofon Black

Have looked at different Spendor , Proac, Totem speakers but not sure if those would work for the rock music and would a sub be needed with those if they would be able to play rock music ?

Budget is $2000-2500

Thank you to all that have replied.      This is not going to be a easy decision.

Besides speakers , will now be looking for the next preamp as I sold the Mercury 2.....

Would like to stay with tubes if possible and budge is about the same.

Was going through a recent thread

https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/pre-amp-upgrade-time

and was doing some reading about preamps that  Radu Tarta makes .

Might have an idea for speakers.....have to do some reading first.

"  Are you really planning on changing preamp and speakers at the same time?"

I know its one of the cardinal rules in audio not to do as it can lead to confusion , but I happen to list both items and they both sold about the same time.     What are the odds ???
