Suggestions on speakers to use with Taboo & CSP2 &
02/29/08 at 16:15:20

I need suggestions for speakers that would work well in a small listening room, 12 x 14 feet, with a Taboo amplifier, CSP2 preamplifier and Ah! Tjoeb 4000 CD player.

I am presently using a Jolida 302 amplifier and Von Schweikert VR-1 bookshelf monitors, 8 OHM, 89db sensitivity.

I don't know if the Taboo CSP2 combination would be adequate for my VR-1 speakers.

If you want to go the DIY route and can use your room corners ,I'd suggest the Corner Horns from Decware, or the A126 or A166 by RonC . Dave

I'm using Klipsch Forte's from 1987 with that setup and it's great. I did replace the crossovers and tweeters and the sound improved 100%. Klipsch made some great speakers back in the day. I bought mine a few months ago for $400 and the upgrade cost me another $300, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I can get them as loud as I would ever want in a room that is similiar sized to yours.

It's outstanding. They're on Skylan stands and the sound is amazing. I listen mostly to jazz and instrumental.. but every now and then I crank it up with some disco or classic rock. The Taboo dishes it out! -Skot

I am using the new ERR Radials with Taboo amp and CSP preamp. I listen to both CD and Vinyl (ZP3 RIAA phono stage by Decware) and I can't imagine a better match. It took a couple of days for things to come together mostly because I am stupid around new stuff but Steve fixed everything over the phone in about 5 minutes. Jaws drop when visitors listen to the system. I listen to just about all kinds of music except yodeling and whistling. The system plays loud enough for me and that's louder than some people like and so far I haven't clipped the amp.

If you listen to a lot of rock-n-roll music may I suggest a pair of TAD EL84 power tubes, Mullard GZ34 rectifier and RCA 12AU7 clear top. It just has that sound...............
