HELP! - need to get some speakers for Thanksgiving!

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

my regular speakers (vintage Electrovoice) are in for repair, and company's coming over...

so must be able to *very quickly & easily* pick something up at a "regular store", so that means some modern/new speakers, OR, something used if that happens to exist nearby

I'm running a vintage Marantz 8 tube amp (& matching preamp) which is rated at 35WPC, plus the room I'm playing in is quite large, so they must be very efficient

looking for something of decent quality that I won't regret buying

any suggestions? (brand, model, approx. price?)

also, suggestions for a store would also be appreciated... I am located in Troy Ohio, (which is north of Dayton and north of Cincinnati and west of Columbus)

thank you!

PS: hey, I noticed that Parts Express is not too far away... anything from there possibly? (link)... not sure if they're open

yes, go to best buy and p/u some Pioneers designed by Andrew Jones . . . the boxes will have his signature on them - A. Jones . . . dont remember the model number, but well regarded by one of the reviewers of Stereophile, plus Mr. Jones is an actual speaker designer trained in science not marketing . . .

Pioneer SP-BS41-LR

The name just rolls off the tongue :)
 
I've got the opposite problem, we can't have Thanksgiving company because my dining room is full of speakers! :stupid:

Too bad you're not closer!

Good luck with your quest and Happy Thanksgiving!!
 
Polk makes some very fine speakers. The ones I posted were reasonably priced and should work good with your amp.
 
why not log on to parts express and get a palr of those sub $40 ones they sell.
part # 300-652 not the best but cheap and new and in ohio !
