Re: speakers

Nazreth:

Amp and speakers within 50K is a topic that has been discussed large number of times within this forum.

In terms of choices you have amps from CA, NAD, Marantz, and maybe Yamaha. CA and Marantz are supposed to be musical, and if you interests are just rock, I will leave them out. You should audition the NAD and Yamaha's two channel series.

Between Jamo and Wharfedales, the Wharfedales are more popular. But again, I am not sure if they will suit rock. You should look at JBL, and Yamaha speakers.

If you do a search you will find the threads discussing these issues in details. Please read them and come back here with specific questions.

Cheers

Re: speakers

What will your source be? Will it be an existing CD/DVD player or will you be buying one? That should also be considered during this decision.

You are on the right track with picking speakers first. However there is a long list of candidates and you should listen to as many as possible before making a choice:
PSB Image B25 standmount @ LaKozy near Chowpatty
Monitor Audio BR2 standmount @ Nova Audio near Carter Road, Bandra
Wharfedale Diamond 9.5 floorstander or Quad 11L standmount @ Designer Audio, Tardeo
Polk Monitor 60 floorstander or KEF iQ3 standmount at ProFX at Atria Mall, Worli
Mordaunt-Short 908i floorstander at Sharper Image, Worli (not sure they stock MS, pls check)

Also, Hifivision member Shahrukh has a KEF iQ5 floorstander on sale in the Classifieds section.

Re: speakers

Rule out the S406, you've got the budget for better kit. The 606 is a lot better. The Wharfedale Diamond series is excellent. And the others recommended by particleman and venkat are also excellent. particleman has been nice enough to set out where you can audition them as well, so why don't you just head out and listen to them, and then post your findings.
