- I agree! I would like to recommend the British speaker manufacturer
- KEF to you. KEF speakers have a nice 'dry'/clean and neutral sound,
- superb for acoustic music (and rock too, unless you want to
- play very loud). Especially in combination with your Phillips
- receiver they have the advantage of being pretty 'amplifier friendly'.
