Looking for my first pair of good speakers

[CarlToft]

So Focal speakers are cheap where you are? What other brands? Wondering if he could find a pair of discontinued Chora 816's, for a very good price. Do they have to be bookshelf speakers?

Yea there are a lot of them on the second hand marketplace

Hej Carl.. Jeg vil kig efter nogle brugte speakers fra engelske AVI, de minder meget om Dynaudio Xeo men mere simpel design og betydelig mere neutral lydprofil, eller gå efter en endgame speaker som Neumann KH150, hvis den matcher dit behov.

Since you upped your price range, these are pretty well reviewed over at Audioholics and might match with your large room better than a small speaker.

Kali IN-5 or IN-8 v2. Maybe have a look at their subwoofers as well.
Connect the TV to a Topping DAC (ie DX5) using an optical cable and your phone with an OTG cable (if your phone supports OTG).

Neumann KH 150 if your budget allows.
