Thank you, the price looks reasonable. I am hearing good things about them but never had a chance to experience them. How do they sound with Spotify?
Very right question. In order to get good sound quality the entire chain need to perform starting from Music Source > Receiver (electronic) > Speaker. I mostly use spotify and very much satisfied with sound quality. Ofcourse offline music would be little better.
You may try spotify trial period and if looks good you can opt for monthly subscriptions. Apply Music is equally good

The concept 40's are the longest running speakers I've ever had. And even after almost 11 years, Iam not tempted to change them, except for perhaps the concept 500's whenever my current concept 40's die. During this period, I've found them to be pretty amp agnostic. I've run them at the end of very varied amplification, which included both high powered class D and Class A, and every thing in between. They have always been a lovely all day smooth listen irrespective of the amplification used.
When I first got them, they were paired with a bluesound power node + Qacoustics sub. It was very good sounding. So if streaming is your main source of music, you might consider any of the Nad or bluesound or cambridge audio all-in-one offerings with built in poweramps.

I echo your thoughts - I have my old Concept 20 in my living room connected to a nad m10 v2. This system sounds wonderful for what it is and as a convenience setup looks fantastic occupying very little space.

Haha...thanks
The Nad M10v2 with its modern implementation must be fantastic and very very clean sounding, going into the already clean Concept 20's
I can imagine what a visual delight this combination can be. All Qacoustics speakers come very well finished with a high wife acceptance factor. Mine in gloss white have stood the test of time, and still look amazingly brand new even today.

For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
