Have the following:
Quad 66 CD
NAD T741
Sky + (not that that really counts here)
JMLab Chorus 706
I can't quite put my finger on it but I've had the 706s a little over a year and I'm just not happy with them.. I seem to have gone from too much bass (the B&W 601s I had previously) to too little bass.. hard to explain but they sound a little "thin".
I was thinking this time I may just bite the bullet and buy into something that should last me a good few years.. got to looking at Dynaudio Audience 42s, had a demo on the end of a Cyrus 8 (I think it was an 8) and was blown away by the "size" of the sound coming from something so small.. they seem bloody good!
Now, I'm not sure I have the inclination to listen to half a dozen pairs of speakers to try to work out exactly which I think is best, but is there anything people would consider a "must listen" to at that sort of price point?
Music tastes vary a lot, looking at the top of my rack:
Toto
Foo Fighters
Tracy Chapman
Michael McDonald
Avril Lavigne
AFI
Finch
Metallica
Zebrahead
Madonna
Only stuff I don't tend to listen to at all is classical and jazz.
Room is a bedroom about 15x12 foot, the distance between speakers and listening distance is around 1.6m.
I may consider at some point using the pre-outs on my NAD to feed a decent audio integrated/power amp.. from what I heard in that dem room (it was already setup, the shop was quiet) Cyrus will figure on the list the time comes.
cheers,
Paul
