Hello, I got a Technics SA-C600, all in one unit


I am looking for a pair of speakers. I mostly listen to rock music in a a 215 sq feet room at home

I came down to these choices so far, due to budget and deals I found:

-Q5020
-Q3030i
-Whaferdale Evo 4.2
-Dali Oberon 3
-Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 or 12.2

Which one would you recommend? any other better options around thes price ranges?

Technics SB-C700 if you can find them at a good price used!

?

I can get a deal for the 5020 as well, but some reviews are talking about a very high trebble, or that the 5020 are less easy to part with amps than the 3030i. I am not sure if the 5020 is better choice for the Technics than the 3030i

The thing is, where I live, I cant really try and listen to these options
 
For my money I would go with the Wharfedale.

For what it's worth, pairing an amp and speaker for tonality (treble, bass) is not really a thing anymore. It was more of an issue ~50 years ago when amps would have a lot of load dependency and the amp's frequency response would vary depending on what speaker it was driving. Modern amps rarely have this problem, but sometimes Class-D amps have elevated treble with certain speakers.

This amp might have that issue, (can't find data to say one way or the other) but if so you can correct it with EQ.

Nice unit!

I would pick the little Dali's myself. I have a few pairs of Zensors and I like them a lot. Not for huge bass of course, but a thoroughly enjoyable speaker. The Oberon 3 is a step up.
 
No "spinorama" is available for the 12.2. Here at ASR we're generally more confident in speakers that have had that comprehensive measurement made on them. But the 12.2 is likely similar to the 12.1, and the 12.2 should have deeper bass.

@restorer-john has heard a lot of speakers and likes the Dali's.

But there's just no way to tell what will sound best to you in your room. If you can buy one or more of your options with return privileges, buy those and see how you like them. If you can get two or more options at the same time, you can hear how similar/different they are and pick the one you like best.
