Evening all,
My MA BX2’s have moved into my AV setup so I’m starting to look for replacements.
My room is around 5m square with high ceiling. Acoustically behaves quite well with no obvious problems.
Sources and amp staying the same. Those being BDP-LX71 playing cd’s (50% of the time), vinyl 25% and streaming from Apple Music via Airport Express 25%. Amp is an elderly but lovely Pioneer VSA-E08 which was running the BX2’s as bi-amp.
Music is a mix from The Darkness to Jamiroquai and Fleetwood Mac. So quite varied.
I’m open to most ideas. I’m considering bookshelves, floorstanders, maybe a sub to support smaller speakers? I enjoyed the BX2’s in this room and could drive them hard but if I had a criticism it was the bass was a little lacking.
Budget I hope is £500 and I’m very happy to consider secondhand if it can get to Aberdeenshire! Obviously at the moment I can’t demo anything
