i use the jolida 502b with meadowlark kestral 2 spkrs. used for your price can be found. read the reviews, many out there. i am amazed at the pure musicality of these little floorstanders. i am biased as an owner but for the $ i think these are classics. caveat on rock n roll.. they will NOT hide poor quality recording with slam and warmth and sizzle, but all your other genres are a perfect fit at modest spl levels. vocals are awesome with this combo!
Need new speakers
One of my KEF 103/2 died a few days back and now I am in search for a new upgrade speaker. I had my NAD receiver, Luxman CD, and KEF since 1992 and was very happy with them. Now have a Jolida 302B integrated tube amp, Rotel RT-1080 tuner, Denon 2200 DVD/CD player. Have a Wharfedale Delta 70 on loaner from friend and it does not agree with me that much.
Have auditioned the Epos M12 (like), KEF 302 (okay). Been reading on Polk LSi-15, Sonus Concertina and Silverline Sonatina.
My living room is smallish: 11 x 18 with oriental carpet. I know my wife won't let me have speakers placed 2 feet away from wall. Don't expect to get subwoofer for a long while.
I like listening to classical, jazz (old and new), old rock. Really like vocals: Nora Jones, Leonard Cohen, James Brown, etc. I don't listen to loud music.
Any suggestions would be apprecited. Oh, budget about US$1000.
