I've found that Class D amps work really well with nominal 4ohm speakers such as KEF LS-50 Meta's, or Elacs. I would imagine there are many others that would work as well.
speakers under $2k that work with Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo Ultra 2.5?
A guy on reddit posted audio forum that he won an Orchard Audio Starkrimson Stereo Ultra 2.5 (250w into 8 ohm, 500w into 4 ohm).
He's asking for speaker recommendations (and preamp) under $2k to get setup.
Leaving out used gear, i had a hard time finding speakers that fit without being overpowered by the amp. maggies was my first thought but this is his first entry point into a home system and i don't think he's got the space or dedication for maggies.
would love a few recommendations from you to pass along.
thanks!

Similar to what @soix stated,what are you looking for sound wise? Also,what speakers do you currently own,and what do you not like about them? |
First, he is a very lucky guy, as the amp is great! and will not be a problem, for any reason (other than the fact it is not in my listening room). His budget of 2K for speakers, and a preamp? Likely should buy a dac/preamp, like an inexpensive Topping (very neutral), and put the greater $ amount into speakers. Does he know the kind/type of listener he is? What is his room like? Seating location? Sources? Cables (balanced between pre and amp). Is he diving into this for the 1st time? I need to know. |
