Bookshelf speaker within 40K to pair with NAD C372

[krishnenduk]

Hii,

I am currently using Wharf 9.5 mated with onkyo SR705 receiver for music as well as movie purposes.. Recently i bought a NAD C 372 integrated amp.. Its a 150W/channel amp..

C 372 Stereo Integrated Amplifier - NAD Electronics

Now searching for a BS speaker within a budget of maximum 40K purely for music to pair with it.. I usually listen regional music, some pop, some trance and some rock.. My room size is approximately length X width x height = 22 X 11 X 15 feet.. Hope a BS will suffice.. pls give some suggestions..

Thanks and regards...

The ikon2 mk2 comes to mind.

If you can extend, get the MA GS10 for 60k and call it a day. Will eat Ikon 2 for breakfast.

That's a big room you have there, recommended Speakers would be towers or largish Bookshelf Speakers. Try pairing the NAD with PSB speakers, specially Image B6 and Imagine B, as both NAD and PSB are sister concern company so their pairing goes really well.

Thanks for the reply bro.. Havent heard a Dali speaker till now... Will check them out... What abt Paradigm Titan Monitors??? Getting an offer for the same.. I am looking for more details and stereo imaging than my current setup...

Do audition the psb b6 and also b&w 685.

But if budget permits look at ma GS10. I have heard it with my nad and sound sweet. 372 has good power , so you can look at bit higher end speakers imho

cant extent my budget bro.. My wife doesnt allow me to spend that much.. We have to consider WAF also na....

 

[s_sachin]

then psb b6 @ 27 K or b&w 685 @ 40 k are good options.

i have the b6 and with the recently aquired nad 2400 power amp they are sounding really really nice. Do carry your amp for audition.

for my room size, length X width x height = 22 X 11 X 15 feet, does the BS will suffice?? or do i need to look for floorstanders??

re do you get B6 for 27k?

 

[s_sachin]

Yes. 30 k mrp with 10 % discount. That's the deal I got

 

[Kittu]

Those prices are old I think , I remember ashish mentioning 33k mrp recently.

Yup got the same quote from Lakozy.
Image B6 - 33k
Image B5 - 27k
Image B4 - 22.5K

PS: Ordered the B4 for my workstation :yahoo:

Sachin is looking to sell the B6.

22x11x15.... IMO look for Floorstanders.

Alpha B1's will suffice for workstation type of speakers.

Alpha B1's will suffice for workstation type of speakers.

Agreed but the problem was space. See this thread http://www.hifivision.com/active-speakers/24719-desktop-speakers-criteria-size.html
