Speakers for CXA61

[CBN]

Good morning,

does anybody have any recommendation on floorstanding speakers to pair to a Cambridge Audio CXA61 amplifier?
I essentially only listen to classical and jazz music, and my living room is maybe 4m by 5m. Budget is on the £500-£700

Many thanks!
Carlo

Welcome to the forum. Can we assume you are looking at new speakers and not second-hand?
speakers can be quite personal, can you get to a dealer to actually audition any?
Anyway, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 are well worth a look.

Thanks! yeah, I'm looking at new speakers but I'm also open to used.
And yes, I'll try to audition but I just wanted to narrow the search down a bit given that there's a million models out there

How far into the room are you able to place them?

there's not a million decent ones

Exactly
Pretty flexible in where to place them within the room

The Dali Oberon 5 are very good but just over the top end of your budget.

I'd second the Oberon 5's, lovely speakers.

Wharfedales should work great with CA, and the Dali Oberon 5 suggestion is a solid one as well. The Elac Debut range should also be on your shortlist. If buying sh, look for Sonus Faber Toy Towers if they fit your budget.
