Not sure why you would not consider a pair of used B&W 686S1? Great dynamics, warm mind and better than most bars with articulate highs from tweeter. Used pair can be had for $500 easily. I have used KEF LS50, great detail but to much timbre sounding, almost edgy, likewise for ELAC doesn't have have any depth or speciality ...IMO.
Best bookshelf speakers
Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a pair of good bookshelf speakers and since a lot of you here seems to know about speakers much more then me, I figured I'd ask for advice.
Here are the parameters I'm working with / looking for:
- The room is about 1200 cu/ft
- Looking for great performance at low volume
- Rich timbre
- Rich, warm bass
- Natural highs (not metallic-sounding)
- Low frequency range in around 40Hz (preferably 30Hz, but I know, there are hardly any in this range at my price point)
- $500 - $700, new or used
So far I am considering the following options (in no particular order):
- KEF Q350
- Dali Zensor 3
- Canton Chrono 503.2
- Wharfedale Diamond 225
So my questions are:
1) From my list of 4, which would be your choice?
2) What other bookshelf speaker would you add to the list that fir my parameters?
Any thoughts are appreciated
