Currently have some KEF Coda 7's on loan from a friend. This loan is being called and I will need to finally buy my own speakers. Set up will be Pro-Ject Debut Carbon>Marantz 1060>????? Looking to spend not much more than $350-500. New or Used is still up in the air.
I dont know a ton about speakers, as this is the first time I have bought any myself. I am hoping you guys could help me understand the characteristics of the KEF Coda 7's, and steer me in the direction of something that will be a moderate upgrade from those.
Here are the specs of the KEF's:
Type: Two way bass-reflex
Frequency response: 48Hz to 20kHz
Power handling: 70W
Sensitivity: 91dB
Impedance: 6 Ohms
I want something "fun", but not overly colored. I listen to mostly electronic, so bass is important, but I dont want the speaker to be pigeonholed into a certain genre or sound. Relative value is also very important. What are some (arguably) good value and bad value brands/models?
