Another "Help me choose my speakers" thread

The new DALI Oberon 5 at $1,100 would sound fantastic for that music! I heard the Oberon 7 at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest and they blew me and my buddies away for the price($1,400).  BTW, you can get them on Amazon.

With your budget you should be able to find something satisfying. Thinking about putting my Vandersteen 1cs up for sale again...

ELAC is another bargain!

What speakers are you using now? Do you have any experience with the listed speakers at all? Some lines of speakers have a known sound quality, like the Klipsch are known to emphasize upper-end due to the compression driver.  They are also generally sensitive speakers that are easy to drive. So do you want a mellower sound or more of a "live" sound? Also your receiver is 30 wpc so you would want to get some more sensitive speakers if you wanted to drive them harder, probably 90db and above. Finally are you expecting decent bass response? Bookshelves won’t touch the lower end with authority without a sub. Some towers in that price range might also cut off around 50hz. But if you are after accuracy and soundstage in that sized room I would go for book shelves over floorstanders in that price range. Used would open up a lot of possibilities around $1k especially vintage. I would go that route before newer big box offerings personally.

+++++++ for the Vandersteen 1c or even the current 1ci IF you can find a used pair. The Sound anchor stands are very worthwhile also

Brother in law has them in a room a bit larger than yours w stellar results.

have fun

enjoy the music.
