Have you looked into Fran & Gerry pre-built Frugal Horns? Very easy to drive & reportedly sound excellent. I'm commissioning a pair shortly from them!mars wrote:Hi all, looking for nice pair of floorstanding speakers, my budget is around 2300€ for S/H ones, my room would be 20 sq/m,I would be very interested something like Focal 1027, Mordaunt short performance 6 Black , Kef reference 20- , Triangle Lyrr, Sonus faber, Something ease to drive, amp would be Rotel rmb1095 Onkyo proc.

For Digital Audio playback that delivers WHERE the performers are on stage but more importantly WHY they are there.

Re: Wanted : Floorstanding speakers
If you'd like to call for a demo mars, shoot me a pm. The frugal horns do meet your criteria alright. To quote tom waits:
That's right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices, Never stops, lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn And it mows your lawn and it picks up the kids from school It gets rid of unwanted facial hair, it gets rid of embarrassing age spots, It delivers a pizza, and it lengthens, and it strengthens And it finds that slipper that's been at large under the chaise lounge for several weeks And it plays a mean Rhythm Master, It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
Well they nearly do all that!

Re: Wanted : Floorstanding speakers
Your budget is pretty chunky, so I wouldn't rule out new speakers from the likes of System Audio. I know it's a perverse thing to say, but are you wedded to the idea of second-hand?

Re: Wanted : Floorstanding speakers
There was a set of kef 105/2 reference speakers on either donedeal or gumtree a while back for reasonable money - migh tbe worth doing a search over there too.
