Hello Everyone,

I have a Harman Kardon HK 620 amplifier and would like to buy a stereo set of desktop speakers for it. I normally listen to a lot folk and jazz. My budget would be around 300 euros (240 pounds). Any sugestions on what I should get ?

_______________________

Here are the specifications for the amplifier:

Power output: 40 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)

Frequency response: 1Hz to 80kHz

Total harmonic distortion: 0.1%

Damping factor: 90

Input sensitivity: 0.13mV (MC), 2.4mV (MM), 135mV (line)

Signal to noise ratio: 75dB (MC), 79dB (MM), 86.5dB (line)

Channel separation: 65dB (MM), 65dB (MC), 45dB (line)

Thanks a lot in advance for the input

Best

You are fortunate. There is a huge choice of speakers at this price range, and many are very good. The magazine reviews here currently favour Dali (Zensor 1 and 3 models), QAcoustics 3020, and Monitor Audio Bronze 2.

To these, none of which I am intimate with, I'd add two recent models that sounded very good at the recent Bristol show. Elac's new debut range, the B5 is £250, and sounded much better than you might reasonably expect. Similarly, the new Mission LX, which I believe were just £200.

Do try to hear a few before you decide.
