Klipsch RP600M perhaps? Can’t remember the price point on those or if they’re passive but I’ve heard good things

I’ve heard good things about the RP600Ms! Not neutral, but very efficient and lively, in the Klipsch way. Plus you may be able to find them at a discount if you look around.
(they are indeed passive)
Here’s an open-box pair shipping from my local AV shop: Klipsch RP-600M Bookshelf Speaker -Walnut (Pair) **Open Box*** | eBay

That’d be a great entrance for me since I am currently using some powered klipsch bookshelf speakers and the whole reason I’m wanting new ones is because I think it’s finally time for an amp and I don’t think I can make these speakers passive… unless of course it would be as simply as unplugging them

If you already like the Klipsch sound I think the RP600Ms are a great choice.That’s be a great entrance for me since I am currently using some powered klipsch bookshelf speakers and the whole reason I’m wanting new ones is because I think it’s finally time for an amp and I don’t think I can make these speakers passive… unless of course it would be as simply as unplugging them

So you're saying you don't need to spend a fortune on speakers or 70% of your system budget on speakers?

Not gonna lie, after seeing modern La Scalas going for $15k a pair I’m considering refinishing and updating my grandfather’s original set.

I'd love to hear a pair of LaScalas in a good room/system. They just seem like they would be otherwordly.

some say they were designed more for classical by the chief, and have lack of deep bass. The old gentlemen I bought one of my McIntosh from had vintage ones and they were beautiful and sounded wonderful on Sinatra and Billie Holiday.

Yeah, they don’t reach deep but what’s there sounds amazing. You could pair them with subwoofers and have a hell of a full range.

A question for the group: Anyone have experience with balanced out "Y" adapters? My Freya+ only has one balanced output which I use currently to run into my Aegirs. I would also like to be able to run balanced cables to my headphone amp. Would the "Y" adapter be a good solution and any brand recommendations for a reasonable set?

They need a pretty big room to breath as well.

Usually local pickup, tbh. Set ‘em up in a spare room or garage if you don’t want strangers in your house.

Facebook marketplace has been most effective for me. And posting on forums where I know some locals linger.
