I have just got a new Sonos amp to add to my Sonos system and the Kef 104.2's I inherited are not likely to be staying, so I need some new floorstanding speakers that are not ugly, whatever that means. I'm told it means not too big, not black or white, so maybe walnut or oak, that kind of thing.
I'll be selling my AVI adm9's and their sub so budget will be up to about £1200.
I like a fairly laid back sound, do not like anything harsh and rarely listen at loud volume.
It's a long way to anywhere that sells anything, with Richer Sounds being about 60-odd miles away, so am likely to end up buying from them if not secondhand. I don't know if Richer Sounds allow any sort of home demoing, or if I can buy and return if I don't get on with them - does anybody ?
Room is just under 5m x 4m, fairly high ceiling and speakers can be about 40cm away from the back wall. Music is varied, but not headbanging, thrash, rap or opera - otherwise pretty much anything that is well recorded, so not much of today's pop !
The sort of things I've been reading up about are -
Fyne Audio 302 or 501
Monitor Audio Silver 200 or 300
Dali Opticon 6
Can anyone give me any ideas about how the above sound compared to each other, and what else I should look at - I'm happy to spend less.
Thanks in advance for any help !
