Used Speaker Recommendations Under $5k...


Greetings All-

I'm in the midst of reconfiguring my system and I'm interested in your recommendations for used floor standers in the less than $5k range to mate with a Plinius MkII integrated amp. The system will be set-up in a medium sized family room (18' x 20'). I like the Dynaudio house sound but I don't have any experience with a Plinius/Dynaudio combination. So Agoners, what do you think? Which brands and models would you recommend?

Thanks/cbd

Good suggestion with the Coincident speakers.

You can get a new pair of Audiokinesis Jazz Modules for $4500.

Looking at speakers with high sensitivity ratings, and nominal impedances of 8 ohms with flat impedance curves will afford you the opportunity to easily switch to almost any tube amp in the future if you so choose.

In the meantime, speakers that fit this profile will be easy for the Plinius to drive.

I once owned the Plinius 8200 MKII, which mated nicely with Dynaudio 1.3SE's. Being a long time fan of Dynaudio, and given your mention of finding the Dynaudio house sound appealing, I would agree with Missioncoonery on choosing the S5.4 (or the S3.4).

The other suggestions of DeVore & Coincident are also very fine choices, and give you added flexibility down the road if you'd want to switch to a medium powered tube amp.

Get some B&W 802n's---simply the best and they look great also.
