Hello Guys -
I'm ready to upgrade my bookshelfs in my current setup. I have read many bookshelf recommendations in various price ranges, but I want advise from the pro's. Music is my absolute main priority for my speakers (Grateful Dead, Electronic, etc.. mostly), but I do watch TV daily. The room it resides in is very small : ~ 15 ft x 8 ft.
My current setup consists of:
My price range for new bookshelfs is between $400-$500 and auditioning speakers for me is nearly impossible.
My interests:
Thanks,
Gene
I'm ready to upgrade my bookshelfs in my current setup. I have read many bookshelf recommendations in various price ranges, but I want advise from the pro's.

My current setup consists of:
- Harman / Kardon HK 3490 (120 watts x 2 channels) - HK -> optical cable -> soundcard -> PC.
- Paradigm Studio Monitors - I wish I knew what year these were (all there is a serial #) - perhaps one of the original studio monitor??
- Bose Model 141 - Compatible with receivers rated 10-80 watts per channel
My price range for new bookshelfs is between $400-$500 and auditioning speakers for me is nearly impossible.
My interests:
- JBL Studio 530 : this is my top pick after all the researching I've done about it. Especially as it doesn't sound to skimp on the Bass. Only thing is I'm not the biggest fan of its aesthetics (very minor!)
- JBL Pro LSR308 : Appears similar but more investigation is required.
- Infinity R162/R152 :
- EMP R5Bi : with a lower price tag and the high regard I've read about- seems like a solid to me.
- Focal Chorus 706 V2 :
- Paradigm Atom V7 - This caught my interest as its of smaller caliber and perhaps might be sensible.
Thanks,
Gene
