It mostly depends on your room. My room is fairly large but smaller speakers and subs work in it while my larger ones don't. But for maximum bang for the buck it would be hard to beat something like a KEF 107-2 or older B&W 801s if they will work in your room. Spendor S-100s are also good. But there are too many to list. The monitors and sub will work in rooms the bigger ones won't but the bigger ones will be easier to work with if your room will support them. Either way you can get good sound.
Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers
I have a budget of $3,000.00 for a pair of used speakers. I am buying used so that I can maximized my choices. My listening is mostly jazz, old R&B, and contemporary Christin music.
I have seen speakers in this range for monitors like JM Lab Micro Utopia for $2,000 and then I would add sub-woofer. Or Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Sig System 2pc for $3,200.00 shipped. Is there a big difference in sound between monitors and a good sub or a full range. I have only owned full range speakers and thought I might try something different.
Looking for comments from those who have owned both and why they preferred one or the other.
My room is about 18 x 14 with 9ft ceilings.
Equipment:
CD player is Cary 306/200
LSA Signature Integrated Amp
Verastarr Cables and interconnects
BPT ac conditioner
Thanks.
