Question Speaker suggestions?

[Omar Gudnason]

Hello HiFi community.

I'm looking for help with choosing the right speakers. I know that this not ideal for superb sound quality and some of you probably will start itching just thinking about putting speakers inside this cabinet. This solid wooden cabinet with a marble plate on top, is very solid and heavy. The "grill" on the doors is high quality speaker grill material. The sizes of the space for the speakers on both sides is (HxWxD) 70x38x43 (27"x15"17").

Any recommendations regarding what type of speakers will be most suitable for this situation, will be highly appreciated. What would you buy and why?

Price range is somewhere up to 4000 USD approx!

I have the Yamaha RN-1000A Amplifier and Technics SL1200 Mk2 Turntable.

Hope to hear from some you soon!

Love the look of your cabinet and set up. Sometimes it’s just not practical to have a ‘perfect’ Hifi placement, for whatever reason. Who cares.

You’ll get plenty advise on speakers and ‘alternative’ ways of placing them 😀

Perhaps some idea as to your budget might help......
Obviously they would need to be some type of standmounts but they aren't going to sound their best that low down.

That's a good point ... I'm willing to spend somewhere up to 4000 USD on speakers. I'm aware of my limitations inside these doors, but that's my reality! 🙂

Any info/help would be great!!!

Much cheaper, some of the Klipsch standmounts, like the RP 600M mk2 would fit in there.
No point on spending more on speakers that cannot be placed ideally I suggest.
There are more expensive speakers designed to actually work on bookshelves but they need height.

Welcome to the forum. Whilst it’s a lovely piece of furniture, there are no speakers I can think of that would be expected to be mounted inside a wooden box, however rigid it might be. Any lower frequencies will make the entire cabinet thrum at various pitches, and the treble sounds will be too near the floor.

You obviously want discreet looks but I think you’d be better with small speakers up on the wall than almost anything inside, unless you just want background music when you may as well use an all in one, like a Naim Muso on the top of the cabinet.

Neat Iota are excellent, tiny and will work on the wall. Epos ES-7N are designed to work close to boundaries, in this case, inside the cabinet. They could go on isolating supports to raise them. However, almost anything *might* work, so you really need a dealer willing to let you try their demo stock in situ, as nobody can predict with any certainty how it might turn out.

I'm guessing your "REALITY" is a female and will not allow either side of your furniture to be flanked by a pair of speakers....I think I'd try some negotiation skills and persuasive bribery or emotional blackmail.🤣🤣🤣.
The reality is, no speaker is going to sound anything like it's best in that situation unfortunately.

Hi Omar, you have good hifi amp and turntable and nice wooden cabinet. But any idea like "put speakers inside these wooden cabinet" is foolish and killing your system, sapuka in Samuray's life. Pls. do not do it. Your speakers, some nice sensitive bookshelfs can be placed on top of the cabinet, on its sides. When using high quality vibrapods between speakers and cabinet (or similar), to control vibrations of speakers, you will hardly experience some skipping of turntable. Tip with small Klipsch 2way bookshelfs is a good start for your system. I will personaly advice some speakers with bass reflex on the front of speakers, like Triangle, Focal... Yamaha is a bit like older Electrocompanient amps. Speaker with higher sensitivity will be a winner here. The best of course is to try yourself before purchasing. BR.
