new speakers

[shane]

Can you imagine my horror when my beloved amp of 25 years gave out two weeks ago just when all shops were told to shut didn't think i could wait 12 weeks with out a amp so after much reading bought a Roskan K3 online and i haven't been disappointed a great sounding amp but now i need to upgrade my speakers i am looking for anything from M- A Silvers 200 up to at push Spendor A4s any suggestions please.

What size room are you using them in? Can you give them a decent amount of space behind them?
Got to be floorstanders.
In these strange times I would have said buy cheap and, if you don't like them, you could sell on without losing too much money however, if your happy to spend more and keep I would say the Spendors you mention are very good all-rounders.
Might also suggest B&W 603, cheaper are the Elac Debut F5.2
Nice amp by the way, had the older LIII a while back and it was great.

Yes floorstanders are what i am looking at and the room size is 4m sq so more of a compact size would be the preferred size haven't look for any stand mounted speakers but i must say i like the look of the Elac Vela

Quite a small room size, perhaps the Spendor A2 might be more appropriate.
While you're looking I have always liked the ProAc DT8's or even Revel Perfoma3 F206's

I have a pair of Spendor Classic 2/3 massive bookshelf speaker. At the time I was auditioning speakers, I already had an amp, which I am still using(Plinius 8200 integrated), the dealer really tried to convince me his Roksan amp drives Spendor really well, and I agree, i remember it was Roksan Caspian 2 integrated, really good match, I mean if my old Plinius dies one day I will definitely consider Roksan, quality stuff.

In my opinion, amplifier and loudspeaker combinations should be auditioned together - leaving things to chance is a fast track to disappointment and further need to upgrade.

+1 to this, most floorstanders will need a lot of space away from walls, the A2 would probably be way more appropriate.. I'd add Dali Oberon 5 or a pair of Sonus Faber Toy Towers (if you can find a pair sh) to your list. But I'm a sucker for Spendor midrange, so...

Also, congrats on the Roksan, it's a great amp.

I’d have a look at ATC with there Sealed cabs in a room that small. Well at least I think there floor standers are sealed.

Maybe the jbl l100s? Might easier with the front port

Might fit into you budget

Larsen loudspeakers work against walls - they’re designed to! Not everyone’s cup of tea looks wise, but choosing the right colour can minimise that. None of them look too “odd” in black, it I like them in white.
