Hi all,
Please help to suggest a pair of floor standing speakers for my home use.
I like a simple stereo set up for both movie and music. ( 50% + 50%).
My current set up is Marantz PM7004 + Boston A26 bookshelf.
I like the sound from Marantz + A26;
In my opinion it is good with Low/base but little soft high and average mid frequencies.
I do not have much experience with current available floor standing speakers.
I am unable to travel and do an audition right now. Long time ago, (~2010s) did audition for few entry level bookshelves. Actually I like the sound of most of the brand speakers then. Below was my experience.
All entry level bookshelves. Don’t remember the models names.
Wharfedale - big sound stage. Felt like sound from a big speakers
Dali - good vocals, base and high,
Monitor audio Bronze- felt little bright.
B&W - Great base & expensive.
Boston A26- Humble sound, good bass, bought this as dealer gave good discounts and thought it will be good match to Marantz as both from same parent company. Anyway it serves well.
All these data may not relevant now as they are long time ago and auditioned only bookshelves
I like bigger sound stage with adequate bass and no harsh high end. Something like a laid back big sound stage.
We will be playing all type of music. pop, jazz, classical, anything feels good.
Formats will be Wav, MP3, flac, Spotify, you tube, etc.
Now plan is to upgrade from bookshelf to floor standing speakers.
Room size is about 250 sq feet.
Also I am not planning for sub woofer.
Went through few of the threads in the forum.
Budget set as 70K can extend upto 1L if it really better than the rest.
Few models in my mind;
Kindly input your knowledge and experiences to help me decide on a better Speaker. Thanks in advance.
