New System!

[omar7631]

I need some recommendations on a new system for another room.
I already have the 804s and the htm3s in the living room and the new system will be in a spare room I have.
My music will go from my computer to a rotel rsp-1068 and rb-1092 combo that I got really cheap. I have not decided on the sub-woofer but I think I will go with a jl- fathom 12.
All I need to do is pick out the speakers.

I will listen to all the types of music,(I have over 5000 songs)
The room is squared about 18x18 feet.
I would like to keep it under 2500. New or used in good condition.

used pair of nautilus 804 would be the best speaker i can think of within your budget

omar,

I agree with the N804 recommendation, maybe even a deal on an 804S. The RB-1092 will drive them well. Also, I can definitely recommend the Fathom F112. I got one last fall. A reference sub. Outstanding musicality, along with excellent output.


Hope this helps.

Whoa a square room you are going to have problems just make sure you sit no more than six feet away from your speakers :T

Have you considered non-b&w speakers?

I would look at Paradigm Sigs, maybe the s4 or s6, v2s (used) with the pure-beryllium tweeter. I have heard them and like them a lot. Very detailed, not quite as "sweet " (warm) sounding as the diamond tweeter, but very good for the price. You can hear the v3s at dealers and the v2s are very similar.

I really like having two different brands since each brand has their own take on sound reproduction. I have B&W and Paradigm Monitors. It is fun to hear the same music on different systems in your own house.

If you are looking for a pair of speakers for 2500 then I think you should have atleast of few good options. I would take my time and listen to as much I could.

I have tried other brands from klipsch, energy, psb , paradigm and b&w. Of all those I like the b&w the most and then the paradigm. My dealer only carries the monitor series in the paradigm but he has all the b&w lines. And I just got a great deal on a pair of brand new 602 s3 he had in his warehouse for 70% off msrp. That leaves me more money for a decent dac and a better subwoofer. I will go from a jl fathom 10 to a 12.

omar,

I'm glad you are upgrading to a F112 sub. You will really like it. Also, nice deal on the 602's.
