Looking for suggestions for speakers to match perfectly to a Luxman L210
 
LUXMAN L-210
SPECIFICATIONS
Power output: 45 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)

Frequency response: 10Hz to 100kHz

Total harmonic distortion: 0.02%

Input sensitivity: 1.8mV (MM), 160mV (line)

Signal to noise ratio: 90dB (MM), 107dB (line)

Dimensions: 453 x 317 x 111mm

Weight: 6.7kg
 
More info Ken, room size, listening preferences, source, WAF considerations(if applicable) and the list goes on ........
 
The Warfe and the klipsh were on my hopeful list I am glad to see you also suggest them.Thankyou for helping
 
Remember, older receivers don’t do too well with lower ohm speakers. I think below 4 ohms is out of the question. 6-8 ohms would be much more comfortable for the amplifier.
 
My room is approx 14x21ft
Hard walls.....hard floors...minimal furniture
I will be powering the speakers with a Luxman L210.....Luxman tuner L230...likely a Dual turntable yet to be found
I am sorry I do not know what WAF is
 
WAF is Wife (or significant other) Acceptance Factor. Lots of partners don't like ugly speakers or ones placed properly in the room.

Hi ken, WAF (wife acceptance factor)

as for your room, it appears by your description to be on the 'bright' side, acoustic treating will be in order IMO. It's large enough for a pair of towers, what's your budget ?
 
Anyone want to comment on using Klipsh R620F tower speakers matched to a Luxman L210
 
I had a pair of B&W 685 S2 speakers when I started my journey in audio back in 2014. Kept those for a couple of years and was always impressed with them. I believe they are 6 ohm nominal speakers. Paired with a set of stands, you are looking at between 800-900 dollars (US). I've never really been a fan of the B&W sound (mostly because of the overly bright tweeters), but these weren't particularly aggressive.

well, you asked for opinions so here goes........ given the 'brightness' of your room(acoustically speaking) that speaker would not be on my radar. IMO, save some $$, stretch your budget and think something on the used market perhaps ?

for the $$ value in speakers ELAC always seems to be mentioned often

How much do you want to spend?

My thinking is that you are trying to build a system around a component that should not be your top priority.

IMO the top priority should be your speakers/room.
 
I picked up the Luxman at a great price and want to put it to good use...you are correct tho I am trying now to match a speaker set to it
Reverse order but it is the way it is

No problem. A fairly efficient, higher ohm speaker like you mentioned should be fine. If the room is a little bright (after sufficient break in of speakers and run in of the amp), a few wall absorbers or treatment will be just wonderful. Use what you have, enjoy the music and look forward to the future to see how far you want to take it. I bet the Luxman, if in good shape, should be excellent. Don’t over think it.
 
I would give the Elac Reference Debut a listen. Either the floorstanders or bookshelf models. I heard them at an audio show last year with Andrew Jones the designer talking about them. Great sounding speaker. Also consider B&W 606, 604's, Elac UniFi's and some of the Monitor Audio Bronze and Silver series.
