Speaker Recomendations
Hello everyone,
I am getting a Pioneer SA-8100 and matching tuner here shortly and have been checking on bookshelf speakers to use with it. I've found a few that seemed nice and was hoping to grab opinions from a few of you knowledgeable folks. I'm trying to keep it to bookshelf speakers and avoid the potential cost of shipping the larger ones as there doesn't seem to be a lot of quality gear locally. The ones I've considered so far are:
Acoustic Research AR-18s
JBL J216
B&W DM100
JENSEN MODEL LS - 2B
Realistic Minimus 20
JBL 2500
My father has Jensen floor standing speakers that sound great, but other than that I haven't heard a great deal of the vintage offerings. I use a pair of Polk Monitor 60s in my home theater setup and have also considered using a set of Polk Monitor 40s with the Pioneer. The Realistic Minimus are beautiful speakers, but I wasn't sure about their sound quality in general. Feel free to add to the above if you have another suggestion. Thanks for the advice.
