Any suggestions as to which bookshelf speakers match well with the NAD. I'd like to do this on a budget, so please keep that in mind. I have a set of Infinity Alpha 20's, any thoughts? |

Silver Member Username: Stu_pittNYC, NY Post Number: 624 Registered: May-05 | You may also want to look into PSB. They've got a long history of synergy with NAD. Now they are owned by the same parent company. I've used PSB and NAD for quite a long time and have no complaints. I have an older integrated amp that is basically the same as your receiver. It had no problems with PSB towers or bookshelves. http://www.psbspeakers.com for prices well below retail - http://dmc-electronics.com http://www.hipposaudiovideo.com/closeout1.htm The best advice is to go to a local Hi-Fi store and hear as many different speakers as you can. |

I think that they should sound good with the NAD as well. The Epos is 4 ohm so you have to match it carefully for your listening preferences and room size. The other manufacturers all make relatively effeicient speakers with a sound that should be work well with NAD. There are many more ofcourse but these should suffice for a start. |

Gold Member Username: Edster922Abubala, Ababala The Occupation Post Number: 2478 Registered: Mar-05 | you could always give them a shot since they pay for shipping both ways, no-lose prop. But I'd definitely AB them against another speaker such as the Ascend. Don't know how much this is worth but I remember coming across an amateur Internet-speaker shootout on another forum a few months back. Onix Rockets, Ascends, Axioms, and Aperions. The Aperions garnered praise for their handsome cabinets but not much else. |
