Hi guys, looking for some quick advice on a set of speakers. I currently have a small pair of Sound Dynamics RTS-3 s that are decent for their size but looking for something a bit beefier for my 2230. Don't need extreme amounts of bass. I may consider running a small subwoofer. Just want something that pairs nicely and has some good low end. Mostly listening to vinyl through the 2230 although I may invest in a decent outboard phono pre.
On the buying new end I'm looking at the JBL L830 and Cambridge Model 6 (heard these are similar to smaller advents)
On the vintage side, thinking Smaller Advents, Dynaco A-25, JBL L100, AR 4xs.
I've looked a bit on ebay at "refurbished" L100s and AR 4xs. They all look pretty dirty as far as the woofers and tweeters go. I'm sure they sound good but their appearance is a little off-putting.
Any suggestions would be awesome. The new JBL L830s are around $380 so I guess that's what I'm looking at as a budget. I don't really have much space for floor-standing so I'd prefer some larger bookshelves, probably 8" woofers.
THanks
