Greetings!
This is my first post on this forum, so here's a little about me and my audio system:
I am an avid listener of classical music, especially of the orchestral variety. I am a big fan of the Super Audio CD format (I have purchased about 200 SACDs in less than two years), and from time to time I will listen to LPs (I am considering upgrading my ancient Technics SL-5). I am still undecided whether stereo or multichannel is the way to go with the SACD format, but currently I am listening in multichannel with some "entry-level" (~$250 apiece) Klipsch speakers. Here are my system details:
SOURCES:
Oppo BDP-103 Blu Ray/SACD Player
Teac UD-501 USB DAC (w/ Foobar2000)
Technics SL-5 Automatic Turntable
AMPLIFICATION:
Denon 4310 AVR
Denon 2112 AVR (Spare)
SPEAKERS:
Klipsch RF-15 Floorstanders (Fronts)
Klipsch RC-25 Center
Klipsch RB-61 Bookshelf (Surrounds)
Assuming I was to go the two-channel route (I think there might be more bang for the buck here), I would like your opinion on good speakers for classical (mainly orchestral, but at least competent with chamber and jazz) music in the $2000/pair range, preferably without requiring an immediate upgrade to my amplification (Denon 4310).
I have looked into the following models:
KEF Q900
Monitor Audio RX6
Magnepan 1.7
Martin Logan ESL 8
PSB T6
Sonus Faber
Golden Ear Triton 3
Thanks for your input,
David
