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!

How handy are you? I've heard a number of Wharferdale diamond owners talk about good results from a cap replacement in the tweeter.  Inexpensive Mundorf MKP should do it.

tbh I’m surprised too now that I think of it lol. I think I didn’t go straight to Fluance because I did for the Preamp, but did some research to find the Mani 2 that I got. I’ll check them out though thanks!

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of great things about Elac and right now, the Debut 3 is at the top of my list. I’ll search this site to see if i can find any preowned stuff for whatever speakers I decide on too thanks!
