Speakers Recommendation for Decco2

[marian]

Just bought the Peachtree Audio Decco2

and I was looking to get some speakers.

I'm considering the monitor audio rx1 or Rega RS1.

 

Also is the onkyo ND-S1 worth buying to use an iPod dock to decco2?

I'm now also considering Linn Majik 109

I'd appreciate any comments.

A decision yet?

I highly recommend a pair of B&W 685.

I think the Linn Majik 109 would be a terrific choice.

...dozens and dozens of recommendations (as well as responses asking you for your budget). So, here's my humble try at a response:

 

Your choice of a Decco2 probably ballparks your budget. I was in the very same place last year and I ended up buying the Decco2 and DS4.5 combo thanks to a extremely helpful and knowledgeable Jon Derda of Peachtree. The DS4.5s were designed by an acknowledged speaker designer for Peachtree and these monitors have a sound that belies their price point. Rather than regurgitate what's already been written, reviews are readily available. They have still have the attractive combo Decco2+DS4.5 combo deal on their site (if you haven't taken receipt of your Decco2).

$700/pair.

Thanks for all the comments

Still haven't made the decision. I am based in the UK. I had a look online but can't find DS4.5 speakers anywhere. (UK based shop)

are sold by Peachtree as well, check to see if the dealer that sold you the Decco, also has the DS speakers.

I bought the decco on ebay.

I don't understand? Do they ship to UK?

also spotted ERA-Design-4-D4-Black on ebay

 

 

[AudioDoctor]

do you see the "find a dealer link?

 

 

 

[marian]

Sorry, I was browsing their website on my phone. Didn't see the link for international dealers. Thanks.

If it's of any help, I know SevenOaks Sound and Vision sell the Peachtree line (not sure about the speakers), as does Leicester HiFi.

 

For an iPod dock I would look at Cambridge Audio iD100 or the new Arcam dock as they are future proofed in that they support iPads too.

I'd check out the Cambridge S30 speakers; they have been getting really good reviews and they are reasonably priced. For an ipod dock, you might want to check out the plain vanilla docks that take a line out from the docking connector. I've been surprised by how good that can sound if implemented correctly. If you want a dock that takes a digital signal out, check out the pure I-20 which is a British company I believe. It is the least expensive solution of that type that I am aware of.
