Toph Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm looking for some speakers to pair with my new Marantz PM6004. Initially I was leaning toward bookshelf speakers, most likely the KEF Q300. But now I'm toying with the idea of some floorstanders. I'd love to hear some opinions and suggestions on what floorstanding speakers would be a good match for this amp or if I should just stick with bookshelf speakers. For consideration, the size of the room I'll be using them in is about 270sq feet and I'm trying to keep my budget too $500 as well. Thanks and Happy New Year!

Toph Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Appreciate the feedback. Was 100% set on the Q300's, but now looking into floorstanding speakers. Those are still my first choice as I haven't really been sold on any floorstanding ones yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casinonightzone Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 what kind of music will you be listening to mostly? do you like heavier bass in the music you listen to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 What is your budget? When I was looking at floorstanders, the one that really caught my ear was the Monitor Audio RX-6. They're actually on sale at Audio Advisor right now for $1298 for the pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toph Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 what kind of music will you be listening to mostly? do you like heavier bass in the music you listen to? I'm a Rock N Roll kinda guy. Pretty eclectic mix though anything from indie ,pop-punk, post hardcore, to 90's alternative. I like my bass, but I don't want it to be overwhelming. What is your budget? When I was looking at floorstanders, the one that really caught my ear was the Monitor Audio RX-6. They're actually on sale at Audio Advisor right now for $1298 for the pair. Yea I've heard the RX-6's are pretty nice. But unfortunately my budget is only about $500 right now. Was willing to be a bit more flexible but I just had to drop alot of money into my car. Based on my budget in the beginners guide thread, they recommend: Wharfedale Diamond 10.5 ($400) retail $950 Kef C7 ($400) retail $800 BOSTON ACOUSTICS A360 ($400) retail $800Klipsch RF-52 II ($550) Are any of these viable options or better than the KEF Q300 bookshelf speakers? Also I found a pair of Factory Refurbished Boston Acoustics RS334's for $500, usually retailed at $1200. Anyone have any experience with these?

xxmartinxx Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Of those, I'd probably go with the KEF C7's just based on manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toph Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 That what I was thinking but I haven't been able to find any reviews on them really. Still leaning towards the Q300's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
