Suggest Near Field Passive Speaker approx 30K ₹

[raj12345]

Due to my location, its near impossible to audition/borrow any component.

You made a simple topic too complicated and new audiophiles usually have this kind of conclusions.

You may adopt following points if u wish to listen your speakers at fullest.

1. Make sure you test your speakers with Audio CDs, better buy a dedicated audio CD player with a good dac inside.
2. Use Belden 8471 speakers cable which costs 80₹ per foot and shall open treble which u may be lacking till now.
3. Use high quality RCA cables. If u cannot buy high quality RCA cables, make one for yourself from Cat5 cables (one strand RCA only).
4. Keep tweeter height at ear levels.
5. Upgrade Crossover with high quality capacitors supplying tweeter circuit.
6. Use shortest length for RCA as well as Speaker cables. 1 foot RCA and 5 foot speaker cables is usually fine.
6. Your speakers are 4 ohms, you must use a high current amp to gain most out of your speakers.

I intend to do so, however unfortunately all Cds were cleaned out years ago, while I was away for many years. Only 5-6 CDs are left. Looking to buy CDs but online prices are so high per CDs that i won't be able to many. Still looking for source to buy if CDs at reasonable cost.

2. Use Belden 8471 speakers cable which costs 80₹ per foot and shall open treble which u may be lacking till now.

Major issue is source, all my songs collection on HDD is garbage quality, on some good recording on youtube, treble is sufficient.
My first priority is getting Cds or ripped files of real lossless quality, which has yielded net zero outcome.

3. Use high quality RCA cables. If u cannot buy high quality RCA cables, make one for yourself from Cat5 cables (one strand RCA only).

Will do once if and when i could solve source issue.

4. Keep tweeter height at ear levels.

Have done that.

5. Upgrade Crossover with high quality capacitors supplying tweeter circuit.

This is out of my technical expertise, at max i could do is soldering. How much would it cost ?

6. Use shortest length for RCA as well as Speaker cables. 1 foot RCA and 5 foot speaker cables is usually fine.

Will do this.

Please suggest a few amps to consider that don't cost a lot. Are japanese vintage amps being sold on olx/youtube any good ?

Thanks for precise guidance.

Regards.

Earlier i used to think that i would like warm speakers (hunch based on past experince with 2.1 creative and F&D speakers which were treble heavy).
Now i know that i would prefer sound signature that leans towards neutral - slightly bright i.e dynamic + engaging + fast.

What you are looking for might be more open sound and not necessarily brighter sound. The said speakers aren’t know for their openness. Their strength is their bass weight.
