Speakers for daughter


I was going to buy powered small speakers for my daughter's first sound system to go with A Project Debut Carbon Evolution but now she seems ok to accept an integrated amplifier from me to power speakers. Thinking about the Elac UNI-FI UB 51 or ELAC Uni-FI Slim B5 U5 after researching similar priced speakers such as the Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2, Paradigm Monitor SE Atom, Wharfedale Diamond 12.1, and Kef 150. I have not listened to any speakers yet at the price point. Any comments?

Bought my daughter a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 50’s. Nice little speaker a tad on the warmer side which is good for poor recordings. Will not play to crazy loud volumes but will play loud enough to upset the neighbors. 

I bought a pair of Monitor Audio GS 10's and then sold them to a friend who owns a Rega amp, Rega CD player, Clearaudio, etc... Anyway, he's content as the GS 10's paired up beautifully after adding a good pair of jumper cables. The Monitor Audio's could last your daughter even if she were to upgrade years from now.

There's a used pair of Revel Concerta F12 towers here on Agon for $300 that could work well, but they are rear ported

I concur with Monitor Audio too!

 

"Bose shouldn’t even be mentioned on this site!"

wow :)

Just got my daughter wharfedale 12.1’s with an NAD 3020 amp and a teac 3b turntable, also streaming from a hifiberry. Sounds great!  Thrilled that she listens and loves vinyl.
