Hello,
I am new here and have been reading quite a lot here, on reddit and on head-fi about budget options available when it comes to bookshelf speakers+amp or powered speakers or even floorstanders.

the most frequent recommendations seem to be Pioneer Sp-Bs22Lr or Infinity Primus p163.
I haven't checked if they are available at brick and mortar shops or not, but they are certainly not available with any Indian e-retailers.


Could somebody recommend me what should I get for max upto 20,000 INR for full setup...I mean if amp is required then amp+speaker.
It will mostly be used for music i.e. Indian classical, classical, classical crossovers, ambient, avant grade, neo-classical, trip-hop, soundtracks and pop orchestra.
Other than that A R Rahman, Steely Dan, Dire Straits, Two steps from hell, Olafur Arnalds, Sufjan Stevens, Ulver, Sphongle, Nightwish, Adele, Norah Jones, Heyley Westenra, Imogen Heap, Lindsey Stirling, Vanessa Mae, etc. wow looks i listed almost all of my besties here. ;)
So the most important aspect of the speakers should be sultry seductive mid-range and good soundstaging and imaging....I also look for details but it should not be ear-scratching sibilant details.
deep low end is not an issue if I wont find base suited to my need i will add a sub later on in future although I am more of a midrange-soundstage-imaging whore than a good-thumping-window-pane-shaking-bass whore.
 
Do you intend to buy used also? Or fixated on unused?
What do you prefer more bass or neutral sounding setup? Have you auditioned any systems as of late?


PS : My own setup is a relevant 30k ish setup.
