Answered Budget floorstanding speakers for Marantz PM7005

Hello.

I recently bought a Marantz PM7005 and wanted to pair it with the best possible floorstanders my budget can afford.

I currently have Dali Zensor 1s and I really like their tonal balance so I've been looking at the Dali Zensor 5 as a ''safe'' upgrade option.

As far as I can understand, Marantz amps boast a warm sound signature so ideally I'd like to pair it with something neutral. The Zensor 1s are definitely neutral to my ears. I'm not a fan of big bass by any means and have always find the Z1's bass perfectly adequate for my liking.

My budget is around £500 for new or used options so any advice is welcome.

Many thanks in advance for your recommendations!

 

Monitor Audio Silver 5/6 should be doable for 500 (used).

 

Thank you so much for your insight.

I have also looked at those. However, I'm under the impression that I've read somewhere they are colored but I might be wrong.

 

Every speaker has a signature tone.

Oh, I've never thought I could buy Focals with this budget!

 

Thank you very much for your input.

Today I received the amp and upon pairing it with my Z1s it sounded very good, however, lacking just a hair of bass. That only goes to show that my previous entry level microHfi system (Denon UD-M31) was colored and rather a bass monster. as it made the Z1 outputting bass but at the cost of resolution.. So the amp part was the culprit of my previous system.

That said, I could pair the PM7005 with a good musical allarounder floor-standing option without fearing it will suffer from overbearing bass.
