Hi there - I'm helping set up some demos for some friends of mine so I am looking for some advice on how to narrow in on a few promising combinations.
The room is very large - more than 50m3 with vaulted ceilings. They are big into jazz and classical, and currently using a 25 year old 50w Nakamichi amp with Proac monitors so it is time for a change and an upgrade.
They seem to be settling on the Roksan K3 (or maybe the Rega) because it is in the right range, seems versitile, but now they need to demo some speakers. Brand options that are more accessible to demo are Proac, Dynaudio, Focal, Rega, Harbeth (a little more difficult).
I have not heard the Roksan or Rega but based on the reviews and the fact my friends likes jazz/classical, they'll probably want something that takes the edges off. Anyone heard the Roksan or Rega with Proac Studio 148s or D20, or Harbeth M30.1 or SHL5s? Other ideas based on the brand combinations listed?
thanks
