Speakers for daughter

Since you’re buying for someone who is likely not (yet?) an audiophile, I’d suggest paying attention to aesthetics and also look for something that’s less likely to be finicky about placement (since most people put their speakers up against back walls and directly on cabinets, etc) unless you know the location she’s placing them will leave room to breath. Front-ported has been less finicky for me. As for the look, that’s going to depend on her personal style but there’s a big difference in the look of Elac, KefQ150, wharfedale, etc…Knowing they’re all better than most non-audiophiles listen to, I’d try to match the style of her room.

Loving the look of your system helps a lot when you’re new to the hobby and best to not have something she doesn’t like looking at in her room.

Have you thought about a pair of used Revel M16s or M105s?

Read this thread of response’s so far..

Why submit your daughter to inevitable audio nervosa ?

get her a Crosley do-it-all box and be done !! 

If you expect placement to be compromised, I suggest avoiding rear ports, and going with concentric drivers so that required distance for driver integration will be less challenging. As obvious as it might be to us here, keeping the speakers at the right height, and yes, not blocked by other furniture, etc., as I've seen way too many times before, is paramount.

I have a pair of ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 in my office run through a Hafler DH-220 (w/Musical Concepts mods) and it sounds anything but torturous.  I had Paradigm Atoms 30 years ago and they were good.  I have Wharfedale Diamond 10.1s as well that I periodically swap the ELACs with just for a change.  They're liquid and their bass is superb for a bookshelf that size.  Wharfedale Dentons have been highly regarded as well.

Frankly I don't think you'd go wrong with either brand for what you're putting together.
