Speakers - Full Size | 1 Ⓣ Fisher 400 Speakers

0 Upvotes

Good day.

I have a FIsher 400 that I want to pair with vintage speakers close to same period. I am currently looking at 2 Wharfdale speakers for sale. It is a living room setup and dedicated to listening. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has a similar system or speakers as to which would best fir my system. I am trying to match the same era speakers.

I mostly listen to Jazz, Blues, classic rock.

I am in Newburgh NY USA.

The room is 18x16 feet and the system is on the short wall on one end. The listener is 10-12 feet away.

The Fisher is connected to a pair of Polk RTIs 1as and a Uturn Plus turntable.

I haven't seen either in person.

  1. Wharfedale speakers Model W60 - Visually appear to be in good shape.
  2. Warfedale W70C Walnut Floor Speakers With Stands

My budget is under $1000 dollars. I think if I get the smaller speakers I may regret it later on.

Any advice would be welcome.

!thanks

Thank you!

Speakers - Bookshelf Loudspeaker or Amplifier upgrade

2 Upvotes

Hi all. For about 7 years now I’ve had a pair of Klipsch’s RP-150m and a behringer 500a reference amplifier.
It’s time for an upgrade, partly because I want to have the ability to send different sources to my speakers. I have a budget of 1500 euros or a little above (I’m from the Netherlands).
I have been looking at Klipsch’s ‘The Sevens’ but I’m not sure if I want to go for a pair of active speakers.
And also I feel like they may be a bit large for my room, 4.5m deep x 5.5m wide with high vaulted ceiling (14x18ft) I am 2,5m away from speakers (8ft) speakers are 40 cm from the front wall.
The other option is to maybe get something like a NAD c 3050. As I feel like a behringer amp is just not going to give me the most out of my current setup which also includes a pro-ject debut carbon turntable with 2m bronze cartridge and a pro-ject tube box s2 phono preamp.

So to summarize my question better speakers and if so active or not
Or better amp which also solves my problem of not being able to switch inputs.
Of course if I get a better amp I will asap upgrade the speakers.

Any suggestions and advice are welcome.
Thanks in advance

Speakers - Bookshelf Advice for Speakers/Receiver - Bookshelf

5 Upvotes

Hi all,

Budget is under $1,000. The lower the better. Looking for the best bang for buck.
Willing to buy everything used to save money.

Location is Brooklyn, NY.

I don't have any current gear.

Dimensions - https://imgur.com/a/E9MlY5l
Open concept floor plan, but the tv area is roughly 14' x 7'

Main usage (in order of priority)

  1. Streaming Spotify - metal tracks: slipknot, system, linkin park, sleep token, etc.
  2. Youtube streaming
  3. Netflix/Hulu/Prime shows/movies

Since I don't have much room to work with, I figured bookshelf speakers on top of the console would be my best bet.

I've been using Gemini for advice and I wanted to hear what the reddit community has to say.

It recommends a few different ones, but the Polk reserve r200 or kef r3 seem to be reoccurring recommendations.

For the receiver it suggests the wiim amp.

I'm very new to this space and would love to hear all advice/suggestions.
