Best Speakers for Vinyl

[Feanor]

Hello, Im new to the forum but I'm trying to build a home theater based around a turntable to play some original pressed vinyl. I'm looking for some good speakers that will capture the best sound from the vinyl I'll be playing. I'm not sure which speakers I should go with, but the music that will be playing is ska, rocksteady, dub and reggae. Also, I plan on getting some origina John Coltrane and some David Brubeck. I need some speakers that will capture the depth and texture of these albums. Any direction or help is appreciated.

Welcome to AR Forums. Lots of good comments await you.

As for which speakers are best for vinyl, I have just two words: "Audio Note".



Oh sorry: that's an insider joke; hang around long enough and you'll appreciated it. Seriously though, they are an option.

Alternatiely I'd suggest some Magneplan model. Lots of other options too.

Some information from you would be helpfull.

1. Budget.
2. Amps and other gear to be used, turntable, etc..
3. Size and orientation of listening area.

With this information some here could better give you the assisstence you seek.

Hi Jeffrey,

There are so many different (good) speakers available, that no one can really tell you what is the "best" speaker for you. Give us a budget and we can give you a few dozen leads. Then your best bet would be to get out and listen to as many of them as you can before you choose any. Bring a couple of your favorite recordings with you.

These are the speakers I have & can't say enough about them (see below for link). The planner mids and highs bring out the details of voices while the traditional mid-woofer and sub woofer dish out some nice dynamics. If you go to this company's forum and post that you are looking to hear a pair, someone in you area will step up and let you come over to listen. They also have a 30 day return policy if you find that you don't like how they sound in your home.
