I think a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 or 9.2 bookshelf speakers would work well. I use a pair of 9.2 speakers with the NAD 325 BEE and c542 cd player. Its a very warm system, rich and non-fatiguing. It is not the last word in resolution, but listening fatigue is not something you will ever have to worry about. I listen to a lot of jazz too, and this is a good system for it. I use Analysis Plus interconnect and speaker cables as well. I think the combination works really well. I tried Epos M5 speakers with the NAD components and got less than desirable results. The combination was just too bright for me. I think you are best served selecting speakers on the warmer side to pair with NAD gear. Good luck.
Speaker recommendations for NAD
I'd like recommendations for speakers that are well-suited to and compliment the NAD C352 integrated amp and NAD C542 CD player.
Due to severe space restrictions (footprint), they'll need to be bookshelf-size. The'll sit on a long wooden cabinet with the components stacked in the middle. The room has exposed hardwood flooring under a wool area rug.
Music listened to is classical (both orchestral and chamber ensembles), jazz (mostly instrumental, some vocal), prog rock.
Thanks much.
