Hello everyone. Im new here and my hello to all. I need some help with selecting the best value speakers and integrated amp to go with it. my budget is 50k including the cables/connectors. I dont play loud, but would like some crisp warm stereo music with clear vocals. I dont mind the looks/ build quality, but the best music I can get for the price. Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to the forum !! have fun.

One combination is Cambridge Audio Azur 540 or 640 Amp with their own stand mount (Amp 24 to 30K and speaker 8k + cables should be in your budget)

or try wharfedale diamond 9.1 or 9.2 with the above amps. you can also look into electronics by NAD model C315BEE or C325BEE with the above speakers.

Try these for now and let us know what you think if you are happy with these fine otherwise we can always suggest more (why not now you may ask,Answer is simple more choices more headache

).

Regards

Hi Abbasve
Where are you located? For speakers, I can recommend the S 520 Ushers index ranging (depending on finish) from about Rs 16.5K to Rs 26.5K inclusive of VAT. They have extremely good highs, mids (vocals, sax, etc) but bass is rolled off around 50 Hz. How big is your room?

cheers

the room is square at 16x16 feet

The Ushers are currently available in Bangalore only.
16 x 16 is a reasonable size room.

cheers
