Speakers to suit my NAD 3150

[transpond]

Hello.

I think this has already been captured by the spam filter so sorry if this is a multi-post!

I have a NAD 3150 in good nick. I have an 18 x 18 ft room which is about 12ft high. I listen to a huge range of music from ancient to modern, mainly from a Technics 1210 with ortofon stylus. I have about 350 quid to spend on new speakers. Would a pair of monitor audio rs6's I've seen for sale locally be a harmonious match with my amp? Would appreciate some advice as I've not bought any speakers for years and am in need of a proper upgrade. Thanks!

They probably would as the nad is a little warm, and the rs6 a touch forward. Another match would be B&W DM 685 or even some used DM602s3 which would be well within your budget. Plenty of used example normally so you get to pick some that have been looked after.

Thank you very much indeed for that- I'll look into the B&Ws as well as the Monitor Audios. The pair I was hoping to get have actually sold now anyway so it's very useful to have a few options. I should have put this in my original post, but it had been eaten by the spam filter a couple of times and I was getting bored/sloppy retyping it- I'm looking for floorstanders because I've got space for them and also have a young baby who'll probably knock standmounts off their perches once he starts walking. Would the floorstanders in the 600 series be a suitable match too or is it not that simple? Thanks also to whoever deleted my duplicate post!

In a room of your size I would be looking primarily at floorstanders. You are best trying to audition as many as you can including the 600's as suiting your room rather than the amplifier is the best approach.
