Need help finalizing what speaker to get


Hi. I just got an RT85 turntable with a Schiit Mani 2 preamp, and now I'm looking to get some decent speakers to go with them. My original budget was around $250 but someone told me to hold out more for something better. I've got my eyes on some Wharfedales but still cant decide because I'm seeing mixed reviews talk about it being well detailed but at the same time too bright. My main goal is to get a grand loud sound because I want to mainly play it in a large open room. I'd like all my equipment to compliment each other so I have the rt85 with the M2 Blue, the Mani 2, and now I want some good speakers so that they all work well together but just need some help from real people to finally decide on a speaker. Thank you!

The RT 85 and Schiit Mani2 are a good start. To add an amp, few give better value for a small budget than the Fosi BY20A Pro w/48V power supply. For speakers to fill a large room, look st Polk Audio tower speakers, BIC America, used Klipsch KG series. 

If you still desire to save, look at here and review here.  I own and enjoy Sony SSCS5 (v1) too for $90 back then but I think Wharfedale Diamond 225 will likely serve you better.
