I don’t have a clue about older speakers so I’m hoping to pick your brains please.
I’m giving my old Rotel RCD965-BX cdp and Technics SU-A700 amp to my brother-in-law to use. It’s a shame to just leave them in boxes as spares when they could be enjoyed by someone. The amp is pretty low powered (45W/channel), smooth sounding. Cdp reasonably neutral, but erring towads being a touch bright.
I’m wanting to find him some cheap standmount speakers. I’ve had a look on eBay but to be honest I can’t tell the wheat from the chaff
.
Must not be bright or annoying, nor too hard to drive. Second hand bargains of speakers from yesteryear preferable
, but more recent goodies also fine. Cosmetic condition is not that important because having seen his bedroom and other electronic bits and bobs they will probably end up dirty and scuffed anyway
. Most of the listening will probably be rock and pop, and they need to be decent with vocals. It’s possible that they won’t end up on stands but on other bits of furniture and possibly close to walls, so the less fussy they are the better.
Budget £80 max incl. postage.
all suggestions welcome. thanks wammy folk
