Warm Sounding Speakers

I set aside my Krell 300Si integrated amp (150WPC - 8ohms, 300wpc - 4 ohms) in favor of more power for my Maggie 3.6's.

I liked the Krell but did think that it was a bit sterile sounding.

My thought is that it might sound better with warmer sounding speakers.

I iam interested in suggestions of speakers that might mate well with the Krell.

Please and thanks!

I agree with Unsound..but if trying to match a Krell I would look for speakers that are colored and warmer.Forget Dynaudio as suggested above.B&W comes to mind as a speaker that fits that bill,not sure how Krell mates with it.Also it seems since the word is out that most of B&Ws line is now made in China the prices are dropping daily so a good deal should be found,IMO.

Agree with Unsound and Missioncoonery. Maggie 3.6 is already pretty warm sounding in my opinion. I think you will be much happier to find a different amp for the Maggie.

I wouldn't recommend B&W with Krell. B&W is a good match with Levinson.

I am surprised nobody mentioned Vandersteen.

I can't believe you'd recommend the original Kestrel over the Kestrel II.

I have owned both and if you are looking for warmth, the original Kestrel has it all over the II. I lived with the Kestrel IIs for a few months and when I put the Kestrels back in the my reaction was "ahh, there it is." Actually, they were Kestrel Hot Rods but the difference is minimal as far as I can tell. Yes, I have owned both. Johnnyb53, do you have experience with the Meadowlarks?
I kind of figured the op was looking for a speaker for a spare/second system as I wouldn't recommend the Kestrels as replacements for his Maggies.
