New speakers...

[Liquid]

...up to £2.5k. What would you choose and why?

Ignoring existing electronics, room type and any other distraction, what are the top performers you've heard?

This thread is :nuts:

I would pick some that worked in my room. Otherwise, what would be the point?

Maybe he's going for the "speakers first" option. Then he'll look for a house with a suitable room :doh:

 

[meninblack]

I would save a grand and buy my Turnberrys!

Well in that case, I would have some Hart Audio modified Eltax Terminators. Oh hang on, I'd only have 2.5k

[pmac]

This is going well ;-)

I'd build own. Well, you did ask.

 

[pmac]

I'd buy a very nice pair of Kharmas

 

[It Cost How Much!?!]

I would build a modern art structure from Tandy LX5's in the shape of a Lion.

 

[pmac]

Maybe consider a pair of these



They're the dogs :^

Ignoring existing electronics, room type and any other distraction

I can only presume you're joking.

Ignoring the room and partnering electronics means ignoring everything that makes speakers work properly or not.

In which case, I'd spend £25 at Maplins.

You stubborn fuckers. I thought you were all supposed to be enthusiastic about the topic of hi-fi?

It's an open question in an effort to avoid the usual bias and bile that normally accompanies such requests. I'm simply looking to canvas opinions of what YOU would consider the best speakers up to the aforementioned price from your exoerience.

Where you heard them or what they partnered with is irrelevant at this juncture. I just want to know what piqued your interest and why.
