Lines: 18 I'm considering getting a new set of speakers :- General background information:- Price isn't too much of a constraint (say $2K for the pair, give or take) Amp is a Hafler DH-220 (115w/ch into 8 ohms, 175 w/ch into 4 ohms, with about 3 db of dynamic headroom) Listening room is 30 x 11 x 8 (feet) and the speakers will be on one 11 ft wall and tends to be on the dead side. Musical tastes are classical and some easy listing/country pop - not at very high volume. However, much of this material has wide dynamic range (dbx encoded disks and the like). I've been thinking about KEF 105.4's or a used pair of Quad ESL-63's. Someone also recommended Snell Type C's or Klipschorns. Does anyone have any recommendations (especially dirt) on these or any other suitable models. Thanx in advance, Bill Mitchell Bell Communications Research, Inc. Whippany, NJ (whuxj!wjm)
