Hi, I am hoping for some opinions on possible upgrades.
I currently have a Marshall Woburn active speaker, with a Marantz CD6006 and a Teac TN-300 turntable connected to it. I make occasional use of the speakers in-built bluetooth functionality, but it isn't essential to my needs. I am also using the turntables onboard pre-amp.
I listen in a very small room - approx 2.5 x 3m. The main types of music I listen to are metal (including black & death metal), rock (such as AC/DC), some country (Johnny Cash) and Synthwave artists (such as FM-84, Pertubator, Dance With The Dead).
I have been looking at replacing the Marshall speaker with a separate amplifier and speakers, and ideally an external pre-amp for the turntable. Due to lack of space, I would need to use bookshelf speakers which would have to be placed on my desk about 1m directly in front of me (either side of my PC monitor). The Q Acoustic 3020 speakers look ideal.
So my question is, would this be a worthwhile upgrade over my current setup, or would it be money wasted with using it in such a small room? How much of an audio upgrade should I be expecting to get?
I can post photos if required.
Many thanks in advance!
