Speakers to pair with Roksan Caspian Mk II amp

[NickCottrell]

I have just bought a Roksan Caspian Mk II amp and I would like to buy some new speakers. Please could anyone advise what they think would be a good match? I have been considering B&W 685's, Kef Q300's and DynaudioDM 2/6.

Thanks

What is your budget?

Something from PMC or Dynaudio Excite X12/X16 maybe...

I really like the synergy between my Caspian M-1 series and my XTZ 99.25's (Mk I's)

Hi, thanks for your comments, my budget is £500 / £600

If the 99.25's are too pricey, then perhaps consider the range below, the XTZ 95.24's.....A lot of very nice standmount speaker for £350

I trialled these not so long ago and then bored folk on here about them...

Again, I used these with my Roksan Caspian (as well as my two other amps) and can confirm they sounded very nice indeed. Still, don't take my word for it as hifi is a subjective matter most of the time. Give Shaun at Audio Sanctum a call....I think they are offering home trials on these; only caveat being that if you don't want them you foot the bill for the return carriage.

Hope this helps
