Help!
We are redecorating our lounge, and as ever, I get to choose the technology as my part of the deal. As it goes, she has picked black Italian leather sofas with cream decor and suchlike, so it looks as though my beloved ProAc Studio 125s and cc1 centre (in maple) are going to have to go.
I've been instructed to get "slim, black" speakers, and am looking to spend up to £3000. I have a black REL 201E sub I'd be happy to keep, and could wait for rear upgrade if the budget runs out - these are currently Dynaudio Audience 40s.
No KEF egg suggestions please, I want at least as good stereo performance as the ProAcs - my room is 6m x 4m.
So far, have heard and like Piega TS5s (which she loved) and have on my shortlist possibly B & W XT4s, JMlabs/Focal Profile 918s and Tannoy Highline Arenas. My current system is Arcam AVR300 with Arcam DV88 player.
Any ideas/experiences please? - particularly with Piegas or 918s, but other ideas within budget welcomed too!!
Thanks!!
