350 pound Standmounter for NAD 355

[poldo]

Can you give me some advice for a budget standmounter (350 Pounds) for my NAD 355 / NAD 545cd in a 2nd room.

Room is 3,80 meter by 5,15 meter and max. distance to rear wall is 60cm.

music pref.: Rock, Metal, Dance

thanks guys

get some 685s. worth they extra £30 if you've got it.

Do you know if 60cm is enough space for them, cause some magazines say they need at least 1 meter from rear wall

thanks guys

nah mine are like a foot from the back wall and are fine. you get foam bungs if they're too boomy

Ok so the B&W 685 are the lonely nr1. no alternatives?

what about Kef iq30?

Have you thought about the Dali Lektor or Ikon range? They make (in my opinion some pretty good standmounts 😉

Also, I have heard that Monitor Audio has made some good budget standmounts (haven't heard them myself).

Monitor audio rx1, Dali Lektor 2 and Dali Ikon 1 (mk1) should maybe?

Ik will demo some this week.

B&W 685's amazing speakers!!! listening to mine as i write this. would recommend them to anyone!! .

mine are 5 cm from the wall and they are fine!!!

Yeah, it's great you try these different speakers; then you'll know which sound you prefer. I started out with some Dali lektor 1's and then after like 3 months, I demoed the B&W 685's at home (they were fully broken in) and still prefered my smaller and cheaper lektors. I just felt that the lektors were more mesmerising 😉 But then again, some people may find the B&W's more mesmering to them, than the Dali's 😛

Monitor Audio speakers are very good match with Nad. They work rather well close to the wall...

Alternatives would be Epos M12s or EB Acoustics EB1s. However, if budget allows, the PMC DB1s are fantastic.

Hi poldo

I'll also recommend Monitor Audio's Silver RX1's as they'll work very well with your NAD components and also suit the types of music you listen to.

All the best
