For those with 500, which speakers are you using?

Thanks for all the replies. Wilson-Benesch anyone?

SL2, perfect match!

Totem Mani-2 Signatures. Only available pre-loved now. They have that isobarik tautness and depth of bass that hits me in all the right places.

However, they’re not overly sensitive and do need power behind them and although I’ve never sensed the 500 struggling, the fans are definitely whirring away nineteen to the dozen at times. I like my volume loud though!

Not even had the chance to hear Rockport yet but have heard very positive things…
Lot of great choices in speakers nowadays…getting a demo is an entirely different matter!

I’d love to home dem.
Will check them out at Axpona. Looks like you have a local dealer.

Local Kudos dealer? Yes, Tyler at NextLevel Audio.
Don’t know about the Rockport…

Musical Artesan carries Rockport now in Chicago land area.
It’s been ages since I have heard a pair. It would be interesting to hear them with Naim amps.

I bought my s/h 252 and three s/h PowerLine cables from Tyler, all within past couple months. Really nice to deal with him.
