Hi all, grateful for any advice on upgrading my speakers.
Current set up:
1) Loewe Legro CA Cd/Amp (this was made for Loewe by Linn and is essentially a rebadged Classik)
2) B&W DM303
3) Chromecast Audio
Biggest gripe with my existing set up is that i find the treble harsh and grating on my ears. Changing the amp helped matters here but i think its fundamentally a speaker issue.
My criteria for better speakers:
1) smooth, non-fatiguing sound
2) bookshelves with grilles (have a daughter who will def poke exposed tweeters)
3) sound great at lower volumes
4) wide soundstage and depth
5) lots of detail
Budget: eur 600. Will consider buying used.
Today i listened to a pair of sonus faber principia 3 bookshelves. They didn't seem to strain my ears and were more detailed and had a better soundstage than my existing speakers and were half price. Almost bought them but they didn't blow me away enough to part with the cash there and then. I also want to compare against some alternatives especially as there's almost no reviews or user reports of them online.
Grateful for any feedback!
