Hi,
I am looking around for a decent sounding speaker for a colleague of mine. He is no audiophile, just that he was looking around to buy some mass-market audio system and I lured him to buy something more decent. I have promised him to get him a good setup for about 25k odd

. I know it is very difficult but at least I can try. I know this guy is serious about music and would invest in good quality CDs if he has a decent system. Also, he is not going to upgrade or anything, just a one time setup which he is going to keep for a long time and enjoy music.

First off I want to try and get him a decent speakers, something better than the typical Wharfedale, Monitor Audio, Jamo stuff. May be a used Quad 11L or something in that league. Source would most probably be a DVDP at first, till I can get him around to buy a CDP

.

Please do let me know if you or any of your friends have anything decent to dispose for around 15-17k. The only condition is it should not look too old, you see for him he is spending a hell lot of money and he cannot believe he is getting some scratched 2nd hand speakers for that kind of money. In fact he was hell bent to buy a new speaker for that money but I am somehow resisting.

Please contact me if you see any such deals around.

Regards
Abhi

At that budget, you can't go wrong with Wharfedale Diamonds. I think the distributor in Mumbai has a deal for the 8 series (which IMO has been their best, so far.)

Even new Wharfedale Diamonds (the 10 series, I believe) can be had at that budget.

Check it out.

Abhi, if he is Not the type to go for upgrades in the future, a compact system like the Denon M38 would be a great option. its around 30K but comes with a cd/tuner etc

Putting together a Hifi based component system at this price would need to be with used equipment

Arj, your suggestion is not bad at all, however have to check about its pricing in India and obviously to check how much of a compromise is it. Because for 30k odd I could get an active speaker from Sonodyne which was really nice the last time I heard it. Chances are that I may not be able to convince him to put down 30k unless I show him something outstanding. However I will try the Denon.

Shahrukh, thanks for the pointer. I too think their Diamond 9 series was a step back sonically (have not heard the 10 series). Wharfedale is a default choice anyway if I dont get anything better in the used market. Something like the JMR twins

He says he prefers Mumbai buyers, but see if you can work something out.
