The new Chesky LC2 would be a great foundation to build on. Their demonstrated sound quality at CAF was off the charts for the $$.

@mapman +1 to some degree the definition of a stereo shop is what could be termed knife edge lazy setup. In fairness to the good people at Stereo Unlimited… going to be difficult to find a more extensive set of display inventory… no matter where you buy develop a relationship…. |
If you’re considering the T66’s you’ll need to avail yourself regarding the effects of extremely low impedances (well below 3 ohms) in relation to your amplifier. |
Forget your budget for now. Unless you know what sound signatures you like the cost doesn’t mean a thing. Determine what sounds good to you based on the music you like. When you visit shops have your music at hand. play it, listen to it across multiple types of speakers. Do you like detail or do you like bottom end? Lastly, enjoy the ride it’s fun and “eye” opening to hear such differences. Once you know what you like you can begin to zero in on brand and budget. |
