Hello All,
Long time lurker asking politely for some bookshelf speaker help and advice please.
I currently run some ageing and not particularly good Eltax Symphony 4.2s from a Harmon Kardon 171 amp. I've been wanting to upgrade the speakers for ages but just haven't got around to it. But now is the time!
I use the system for watching TV and listening to music. The speakers are on a wooden sideboard in the corner of a large room. Due to the layout, I can't fit a sub in, so it has to stay as a 2.0.
I'm looking at Zensor 3 / Bronze 2 level, but am happy to spend more if worth it eg Mission QX2 / Elac debut B6.2. I've also seen Audio Monitor Silver 2 for £450 new or £350 used. So budget between £200-400 (500 at a push if it offers significantly better sound and longevity).
I'm planning to go and demo some in Richer Sounds but I'd appreciate some help narrowing the field in advance.
I want speakers that will fill a large room and suit a wide variety of music genres, including dance music. I'm after a full and exciting sound rather than a particularly accurate one. Think classic V sound shape.
Thanks very much in advance for any help.
