Looking for bookshelf speakers to pair with Schiit Ragnarok 2

Well, didn’t know you were coming from canada, sorry about that then

The KEF’s are excellent on a desk, and pretty decent size wise

If you are looking for rb42 size, check out the Jamo C91 II Concert, as Z just reviewed them and thinks they are better then the rb42

Also perhaps look at the KEF Q150

Yeah, I’ve been seriously considering the Jamos. Sourcing them up here is an issue however so I might have to import them from the states.
Kefs are more reasonably priced though and I can get them through amazon.

Can you mount the speakers or stands for them in the wall? Sitting speakers on a table at any sort of volume just turns your table into a resonator starting at about 450 Hz down.

I’ll have isolation stands and I’m getting studio monitors now

@PABastien-hello am new here and realize this is an ‘old’ thread-- I have new Ragnarok 2 just the amp and new Yggdrasil GS I paired them to a set of Legacy Audio Studio HD monitors wonderful combo-- the speakers are hand made in Springfield Illinois weigh 32# each and are only 14"x11"

Those are pretty nice, it’s not often I see someone rocking legacy :+1:

@MON-- Thank you-drooled over these speakers for 20 years and then my CFO let me get all of that ‘stuff’ as she put it “your last rodeo/system”

I know a few people from legacy, real nice folks over there

Are the pro 7 monitors any good?

Which pro 7 monitor lol

This one here
https://www.legacyaudio.com/products/view/pro-7-monitor/

Duh ok lol, my bad

Yeah I think those are actually more suited for pro use, as I think the studio hd is actually more of a hifi speaker than a pro tuning imo. It’s a solid piece and I think it competes fairly well with the others speakers in that range

@PABastien & @ MON the one step up are Legacy Calibre studio monitors but they are 5000$ ! best you have a very understanding CFO or have your own personal stash. Mine sound wonderful Jerry and the boys never sounded so clear separated and black and no real need for powered subwoofer.

The Calibre are very nice, pretty well refined, although there is alot of competition and choices around that range

Or do studio work and write them off lol

I only write stuff off that I manly use for mastering so it does work if you genuinely do some sort of studio work lol

@M0N and anyone else any recommendations for inexpensive good quality speaker stands anywhere from 8-24” with a large enough top plate to hold/support those 32# studio monitors-14”x11.5” ie the legacy studio HD’s bobbmd

I am not too familiar with speaker stands, but there are a ton of threads on cheap and good stands if you just search “speaker stands”
