Try the focal 714 or 716 at ProFX, Somajiguda. My friend recently bought the 714 at ~47k. We did audition the C607 at Jamo cinebels. For our ears both the 716 and C607 sounded equally good. My friend however went for the 714 due to other constraints.
Speakers in the 60K range?
- Thread starter musicbee
- Start date
If bass and details are what you are looking for (since you like the C607s), below is what you should listen in 60k range.
Dali Ikon 6. (Close to 80k)
MA Silver series. (Close to 75k)
Paradigm Monitor 9 (45k)
Focal, Tannoy, Klipsch, Polk, Mission (from what I have heard) have a bass deficiency in the 30-50k range. Not sure of 60k ones.
The C605 in Jamo should fit the bill for smaller rooms. Its 45k. Requires lesser power amplier to drive too. If you look at 60k range of speakers, they will need to be paired with slightly more powered amps. Remember that.
BTW, How much is the Paradigm Studio 60?? Is it in this price range?

I think they'll hit the Lakh and above figures.

I think the Studios hit 1.1L. And I don't think you would get Monitor 9 (s7) in 45k considering the MSRP is 59k 
More likely something in the range of 51-54k.
I agree with Blasto on Klipsch being very bright. Hence my caveat that while they do good for heavy metal, I would not be very sure for hip hop. I had found RX-52s very very fatiguing. If you like bass, I would rate PSB Image T6 better than the MA silver series (RX6).

Thanks but I'm looking for a 2.0 setup. Just to play music from the PC.
Plan a trip to bangalore.
You can't find them here.
Sound n Vision (GVK-1 mall) had the bronze series floorstanders.
Did not like them. Try out.

The c607 is the younger brother of the original danish e875. The e875's had a certain magic to it's clarity which A lot of people swear by. I don't know if the c607's continue that tradition but owning an e875, I'll tell you that even if I get a dali ikon 6 or MA-6, this jamo.. the e875/c607, it produces a type of sound that's addictive, it overwrites your preferences for even higher grade speakers.
You can get bored of the dalis and ma's but you'll never get bored of the c607.
I cannot comment on the c605 as i have not heard it

Hey core, unfortunately, today world is filled with people who prefer brands to sound. Even in resale.
If only more people do the actual demo, jamo will be selling lots more.
BTW, I have heard the c605. Same as c607 for smaller rooms.

Well on the top yes, however the crossover within the c605/e850 is different from the c607/e875.
the 605 is a 2.5way crossover while 607 is 3 way with a dedicated midrange, and it's the midrange of the 607 which actually mesmerizes me. So I wouldnt really look at the room size in such a situation because I always end up sitting 4 feet away from my e875's midrange drivers and the clarity..it's hypnotic in many ways, I run it off a Jamo avr 693 amplifier which is pretty rare so that might also be helping.

@Thread starter, you need to make note.
Thanks to everyone who recommended MA RX6. Spent the entire afternoon with the MAs (RS8, RX6, RX8 and some BX thrown in).
MA RX6 - Good midrange and lots of detail, but low on the bass.
MA RS8 - Good midrange, lots of detail and good bass.
MA RX8 - WOW... has everything going for it... lots of detail, great (lots more detail) midrange, and good bass.
BX something - Was lost somewhere with lack of detail.
The Problem - MA RX8 costs 95K and once having heard them one cannot go back to settling with the MA RX6. The MA RS8 is a good buy but that too comes at 84K.
Solution:
1. Back to auditioning and finding the best fit at 60K.
2. Save up and move to MA RX8.
PS - Also, auditioned the B&W 684 which sounded ok (but not worth the 1.2/3 lacs) and the DALI Ikon 6 which had excellent midrange but nothing in the bass... the MA RX8 was definitely the winner by a wide margin.

Hey Musicbee, You started with 30k and came to 60k. Now you are looking at 95k speakers.
The CDP and Amp will also cost exponentially at this price range. You are looking at a 1.5L setup.
Good luck.
hyeah:

hyeah:Iam sceptical that you are gonna find anything in the range of 60k which is better.
BTW, Bass n Treble (dealer member) has a 6 months used B&W 684 for sale for 60k. You might want to consider if you liked the sound.
@ BLASTO, Awaiting your opinion about the home auditioning between the MA RS8 and MA RX8.
You are most welcome and hear the MA RS6 at my place, I did not find a lack of bass at home. You cant compare them with the MA RX8/ RS 8 for overall detail as they are two and half way speakers....
To honestly compare them with the MA RX6 I need to hear them at home as it would be a fair comparison there. Was surprised at their lesser bass we heard yesterday, but the mids were much better.
I wanted to upgrade my speakers before yesterday, but maybe I will delay it for a while, after a few months check out the MA RX8 at home, sell the RS6, lastly do the maths add the difference and then....:lol:.
Must mention, it was great meeting the rest of the guys and discussing the speakers. Thx also to Jalal who entertained our every request.

You call it a hobby. I call it a disease!
I've been at this 'thing' for 35+ years and every 10 years or so I get the 'itch' again.I assume you meant the 684 not 864. The 683 is the machine most well considered in that line. The 684 does not dance as well. The 683 does but it's well over priced and at that price (~1.5L) we have the Studio 100 (Paradigm), Focal's 836V and some others (I can't remember all the models).
The RX8 at about 1L goes up agaainst the KEF Q900 and Focal Chorus 816V.

For 60K you could step down to the RX6 and add a subwoofer later.
A beautiful, well-constructed speaker with class-leading soundstage, imaging and bass that is fast, deep, and precise.
