Building bedroom system.....speakers for it?


Hello,

I have posted questions about the Rogue receiver and the Classe CRCD for a bedroom system. Now I would like thoughts on the best small bookshelf/monitor speakers for that system? I have enjoyed some small Paradigms in the past and am wanting to buy used. I listen mainly to classic Jazz and female vocals.

Thanks

I have had Spendor SA 1's in BR system since speakers first came out a few years ago. They are superb, lifelike and fight far above their size. I have had many Spendor models over the years and finally learned my lesson - don't sell!

Those are all good suggestions. I would like to suggest one more the Spica TC-50. It is small and images very well.
I use the Outlaw RR2150 in a bedroom system. It is more than fine for those purposes. The Outlaw will also work with many small monitor type speakers. Interestingly enough, smaller inexpensive speakers will work out better than smaller expensive speakers.

I presently use the Outlaw with Totem Mites and am very pleased with the sound. Other winners were Rega R1s and NHT SB2. I was not impressed when I used it with Spendor SA1s.

Where you want to spend some cash is with the source ... less expensive DVD/ CD players (if you hook the Outlaw up with a TV) will cheapen the sound considerably.

How about some PMC TB2's. I've got a set out in the garage and they sound fantastic out there. Bought used at a good price too.
I would second Jndean's recommendation of the Triangle Comete ES's if you can move a bit higher up the food chain. Incredibly coherent, easily powered, and a surprising bass presence with a smaller room.
