Afternoon all.
Some background - I used to have a b&w 602/601/lcr 60 set up partnered with an Arcam avr 300 and a custom sub. When I moved house I sold the front 3 B&Ws because my house was too small to accommodate them. I kept the 601s which are in the study.
I then bought a kef egg set up which quite frankly is a little disappointing in comparison.
I'm now going to be moving house and fancy getting a better set of speakers.
I'm after a pair of floorstanders initially with a budget of say £500 this could be increased by a couple of hundred quid if required. Clearance, new and second hand considered.
Use will be 40:40:20 music:tv:movies but my main concern is music. I miss the warmth and presence of my old speakers especially at lower levels.
I may decide to move these later to a dedicated hifi so music is key. However if they were part of a range which could be used as a 5.1 later than great. Was considering B&W again and using my 601s as rears.
Will be keeping the arcam amp for the moment. Absolute max is about £900 but would prefer to look around £500.
Any recommendations appreciated!
