Hi guys, just wondering if any of you have any opinion/experience with System Audio speakers?
There's a pair on adverts at the minute - look good value. SA1530s.
Looking for something in this price bracket for a second system (naim pre- and power amps & TT), not sure if they'd match.
Alternatives considered (depending on price)
Thanks,Shane.

Re: SA opinion?
They might be my old ones. Cherrywood colour. At that price or sure he might accept a little less a bargain. Used them in a second system also and really nice clean natural speakers.The plus is they are really neat in width and veneer/finish is really good. Danish speakers. Would suggest grabbing them at that price level.
Hated selling mine but can't hold on to everything.

Re: SA opinion?
I haven't heard that combination but I'd say they'd match well.

Re: SA opinion?
I think System Audio is one of those brands you can always buy with confidence if the price is right.

Hi Shane, I have a pair of SA1530s driven by a Primare I21 as part of my second system and they are very good indeed. My primary system has the Primare driving a pair of the SA1750s. I do like System Audio and rate them highly.

Another vote here for SA. I've always loved the sound anytime I've heard them. Very neat looking speaker.
