It is also pretty accurate, so a good speaker match would be something that is a very accurate and detailed sounding speaker. My suggestions would therefore be something like Monitor Audio silver Series or JMlabs Cobalt Signature series of speakers. What is your price range? |

New member Username: Hieu_phanPost Number: 2 Registered: 12-2003 | Thanks Hawk and James. I live in Vietnam and there are not so many brands here. I will try JMLab as you advised. Other brands available in the market are: JBL, Infinity, Mission, Jamo, B&W, JPW, Bose, Yamaha, KEF, etc. If my price range is $300-$500/pair, which one should I choose? |

Anonymous | Of the speakers you list I think the Missions would match well with your receiver. Something like the M73's or M74's should be ideal for the output of your receiver. Not sure what they cost in Vietnam though. |
