You can place them almost touching the rear wall Usually, just some minor work needed like replacing the surrounds on the woofers. No reason not to go second hand here - you will get a much better speaker for your budget and speakers last decades. There is a recent review of the AN K at 6 moons - it's funny that this speaker has been selling since 1992 and it seems like only recently have they been getting any kind of coverage.Īnd of course, the 5/9 has been around even longer so there is probably more likelihood of finding them. My current setup is: Pioneer VSX-820 amp used as a home theater amp (tv connected, tivo, dvd, etc all via HDMI) I just bought ATC SCM-11 speakers that will arrive in a few weeks. The first phase will be speakers, the second being an amp. Ie you can buy amplifiers based on how they sound versus buying them based on whether they can drive 2 ohms or not. 2,556 4 0 1 Hello all, Due to budget constraints, Ill be building my new system in phases.

Still the advantage of the easy-to-drive speaker which is unusual for sealed cabinets is that should you decide to upgrade from SS to a good tube amplifier in the lower watt range ~8-20 watts you can do that without having to replace your speakers. Both speakers harken back decades and are still obviously holding up. I was happy to review both in my system as the K/SPe won speaker of the year in 2010 and the Rogers LS 5/9 won in 2020. But the speakers are considerably more expensive than the K/SPe. I am currently reviewing the Rogers LS 5/9 which are also sealed and can also be placed near walls. I am not allowed to direct link to my review but they easily replaced my KEF LS-50s.
I run 8-watt SET amps on them and also run 250 watts (430 Class D Wyred4Sound mAmps). I would take this over the speakers you listed.Īnd they only need 7 watts per channel so you have more than enough. They currently make 4 versions of the speaker - but you should be able to find a used pair in your budget (AN K/Lx is copper wired so is less money). I recently reviewed the Audio Note K/SPe standmount - these are sealed cabinets and are designed to be placed in corners or up against the wall.
