What speakers for classical guitar?

[Pio1980]

To my ear, the New England type acoustic suspension 2-way speakers like AR, Boston Acoustics, the original KLH, EPI/Epicure, Cizek, ect, do a very natural presentation of unamplified acoustic string and vocal for the money and are plentifully affordable. The later Advents with dome tweeters would be included as well as Canadian speakers like PSB.

+1 on acoustic suspension speakers.

Acoustic guitars are an Easy Load.
Guitars are surprisingly frequency limited.
A decently made single Driver that is fast enough to keep up is most all that's required. Be it a $35 Markaudio. 80$ Fostex Or something similar from peerless.
Weber speakers makes V nice Guitar speakers as well. Guitar players line up for those.
An enclosure for any of the above is a simple requirement.
Remembering that an enclosure is Only useful/relevant below 200hz.

As a pre fabbed store bought unit??
Most any mid level speaker of semi recent manufacture and of realistic price point (one does get what one pays for) can do a v credible job of making Guitar noises.

You might also consider something like these:
http://www.svsound.com/speakers/prime-series/prime-bookshelf

They are new, so no word on how they sound. But, and this is why I am suggesting this, SVS gives you a free in-home trial and pays for return shipping if you don't like them.

vintage Infinity with EMITs and EMIMs does exceptionally well with guitar. i'm guessing it has already been mentioned, but i didn't read all 5 pages.

This is true. I always enjoyed bluegrass on my rs6bs

$150 total for these Wild Burro Audio Betsy OB's with Home Depot cutting the plywood/MDF for free.

Don't fear DIY as a 10 year old can put these together.

Then you'll have $250 left over to buy the N3 APPJ single ended amp and cover shipping.

My wasted years and money gives others an advantage.

Ohm Walsh 2 can be had for 500 and under

How about a plug-and-play new Andrew Jones Pioneer speaker option?
They seem to be considered the present day big bang for buck decent speakers.
Anyone?

BMWCCA It's time to move into the future get some new speakers and sell me those old dinosaurs!

Well, I also have these, which do fine on any guitar, too, but don't fit the OP's budget constraints:



Too many emotional ties to my 030s to ever let them go, but thanks for worrying about me! :thmbsp:

I might have been more interesting to ask the question does anyone own a pair of speakers that doesn't reproduce acoustic guitars well.

there are plenty that don't do a great job relative to my taste and expectations.

Iirc, my Hereseys sucked at acoustic strings and vocals, made it sound like coming from a PA system. Anything with an exponential horn midrange or classified as a "rock & roll" speaker would probably suck at acoustic strings and naturally produced vocals and will not sound natural on them.
