Bookshelf Speakers for Roksan Kandy L3 amp/cd player combination

[admin_exported]

I am trying to decide between the DALI IKON 2's and the B&W 685's... Would the IKON 2s be worth an extra £100? Are there an other speakers that I should consider in this price range?

Many thanks, Will

Have you thought about the Ross speakers they are designed for personnal cd players etc and are amplified you can get them from Argos for £19.99.

The 685s are quite good with the Kandy but I preferred some Proacs but they might be a bit beyond budget. I think the Kandy might prefer some good floorstanders as most of the bookshelves I tried with mine were lacking a bit. Not tried the Dalis though.

Willy, have a chat to audiologica.co.uk and see if he has anything in. I got some ProAc tablette Reference 8 Signatures in Rosewood for £595 brand new (RRP £925). Can't promise he'll have anything but worth a try. He's also a Dali dealer and has ex demos so you can't lose by contacting him, he's called Richard. Got some Dali ikon 6 ex demo for £650 from him too.

If you can afford that, the Proacs blow the B&Ws away on the Kandy! Might phone him up myself! I didn't like the Epos's.

I'd say your combination majors on power and the bigger picture.

I too would have recommended any of the smaller Epos'es or perhaps Rega R3/5 for the focus and detail they would bring to your system.

I don't know what your budget is but you can get these for £699. They are supposed to be superb and they look beautifully made. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/bookshelf/jamo-c803-bookshelf-speaker-review
